A federal judge dismissed the suit (PDF) Tuesday brought by Stephen Cavanaugh, who is serving a 4- to 8-year term on assault and weapons charges at the Nebraska State Penitentiary. US District Judge John Gerrard ruled that "FSMism" isn't a religion like the ones protected under the Constitution.
"The Court finds that FSMism is not a 'religion' within the meaning of the relevant federal statutes and constitutional jurisprudence. It is, rather, a parody, intended to advance an argument about science, the evolution of life, and the place of religion in public education. Those are important issues, and FSMism contains a serious argument—but that does not mean that the trappings of the satire used to make that argument are entitled to protection as a 'religion,'" the judge ruled.
Aš manau, sprendimas labai teisingas ir pagrįstas. Realiuose teismuose, pasirodo, sveikas protas naudojamas. Skirtingai, jei visose tose istorijose apie mikrobanges, kates ir kavas. Smalsu tik, kaip vyko teismas. Jei ten dalyvavo koks nors internetinis smartassas ateistas ir vis kaišiojo teisėjui linkus į Vikipedijos straipsnius apie argumentavimo klaidas bei analogijas, pirkčiau vaizdo įrašą
