Another Kansas group, the KC Free Thinkers, wants permission to put up a display celebrating a tongue-in-cheek deity named The Flying Spaghetti Monster. In a similar vein, an Olympia man is requesting approval for a celebratory pole in honor of the holiday Festivus, which was invented as part of a “Seinfeld” TV show episode in the late 1990s.

No doubt the objective is to leave only one deity in the end: The State.
