#i don't claim to be a devotee of the FSM anymore

[arctic-hands]

Everyone in high school thought I was insane. Not because of my undiagnosed bipolar or paranoia, but because I rebelled against my Christian surroundings by proclaiming I worshipped the Flying Spaghetti Monster

And everyone. Thought. I. Was. Literal.

They were so heads-in-asses deeply entrenched in their own fanatically Hoosier evangelical upbringings that they thought everyone had the same level of faith in something, and mine was the a mass of pasta with eyeballs, which was so ridiculous so therefore I must be insane. I was literally bullied for this. You know, like Jesus would have done.

TL:DR poked fun at rabid evangelicalism but the jokes didn't land by a mile because I was surrounded by rabid evangelicals
