Odd, this happened years ago

I'd like to know how they managed to tie God into it somehow. I found something in Isaiah 13:10, but how picky can these people be? Probably an odd confluence of Flat Earthers and Creationists...but why would they go to a science presentation if it was just to boo and walk out? Did they sit there waiting for something they could take scriptural umbrage at?

Well, then I suppose he is to be pilloried for not knowing his audience.

When discussing science, one should never mention religious fairytales.  Only if someone brings up the Stork, the Easter Bunny or other mythological tales should the subject of religion be addressed and shot down.

Explain how the easter bunny is different from a big invisible guy wearing sandals who makes everything OK. I'm not sure I can draw that distinction.

The Easter bunny gives you chocolate eggs; the big invisible guy turns you into a pillar of salt. I'll take the chocolate, thanks.

He isn't.  That was the point.  I don't believe in Bearded Sandal Dude with his lightning bolts any more than I believe in his previous hornier incarnation Zeus.

IA! IA!

Perhaps we should start a petition drive to make them leave if they get cold feet. Roger, of course, gets special refugee status.

You meant George, right?

All I'd need is a neat little bungalow anywhere in sweet Carolina.

Just gimme time to gather up some Tex-Mex recipes--the only thing worth saving from this lousy place--and a flight number, and I'll be on that mutha.

George is being held prisoner in Texas?

It happens.  I was held prisoner in Florida (East Teabagistan) for reasons beyond my control.  Here’s to George successfully escaping from Teabagistan someday!
