FSM statue graces courhouse lawn

In an amazing rarity, a courthouse in Cumberland, TN has created a free speech zone on its lawn in which members of the community can file to have statues and monuments erected on its lawn. Obviously, there's the typical Christian references with a chainsaw carving of Jesus carrying a cross, but amazingly enough, this town actually does allow for other monuments, and has allowed a Flying Spaghetti Monster one to be put up as well!

Of course, what would be it without some politician acting butthurt over the whole thing,

I feel the Flying Spaghetti Monster is an effort on the part of non-Christians to try and minimize Christianity and the images that have been placed there. I'll go as far as to say that I think it's an attempt to minimize and ridicule the good intentions of Christians in Cumberland County...

That's right... The FSM is out to minimize your monopoly.

He's coming for you....
