Another vote for this - oDesk merged with Elance last year and is now Upwork. there's a range of work available from here. Different categories here: https://www.upwork.com/i/job-categories/
Do you write at all? I made some money doing editing work and some content writing on freelance sites like oDesk. It takes a little while to get going initially but once you have a few reviews you can usually make a little headway. I had one consistent client that was a great source of work with very reasonable hours per week.
The flying spaghetti monster is a good example. Often times "science as a religion" folks will take it as a jab at religion (and it is a jab at religion), but it's also a statement about science. If something cannot be tested, science has nothing to say about it. It doesn't make sense to teach children about the FSM in a science class because there is no way to gather evidence to support it as a theory or test it. Science simply doesn't cover the FSM, just as science simply doesn't cover the question "What is beauty" or "how does this song make you feel?"
