The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster should be seen and respected as a legitimate Religion (not just U.S, internationally)

Why would any religion be "respected", though? And what is "respect"? What is "legitimate"? The contention relies on undefined and very vague terms.

Evolution is not observable.

Gravitation is not observable in itself. We see that chunks of matter come together like if matter atracted matter in the direct reason of mass and the inverse reason of distance. But we cannot know whether matter actually attracts matter, or if this has a different cause.

Socialism is more effective at poverty reduction and ensuring the meeting of basic needs than capitalism

"Socialism" could mean any number of very different things, from Roosevelt's New Deal to Stalinism, and from hippy communes to German social democracy.

Property is theft.

Theft however presuposes property: there can be no theft of something that is not property. Ergo, the contention is self-contradictory.

The government should be required to use open source software (for civilian operations at least)

When the software crashes, who does the government address to solve the problem, and who does it sue in order to get repaid for the eventual losses?
