The FSM was made up to make fun of ID’s coyness about naming the Designer. In the absence of any information about the Designer, it’s possible that it was a FSM.
The only reason to find the FSM offensive is if ID is really just a front for creationism and the Designer is the Christian God, while IDers are not openly stating this in order to appear objective.
Sort of like ALgore and his minions using global warming as a means to get the masses to adhere to his global view. Why doesn’t he say it plainly, “I am superior and you must adhere to my world view.” I use globabl warming to scare the people and get the “smart, yet gullible” people to follow my lead. He is just a bad example of the Dr. Evil type charlatans.
