Interupting Theist

Interupting Theist
This is a thread, basically a What would you do? format. 
Lets say you are at a regular non-religious place. 
For example, a Science class on Physics. Preventing the lesson from getting started, Multiple, as in at least 3 Theists, start yelling about how much they love Jesus or similar, annoying you from getting any work done. This is in the Bible Belt, so nobody else is going to do anything about it. If a Attendant does anything about it they may very well be fired. Now, What would you do or want to do at this moment? If you ignore it, it will continue for at least the rest of the week, at the start of every class. With that in mind, What would you do?

RE: Interupting Theist
I live in the bible belt, and I still went to a school where disruptive students were sent out of the class, regardless of what they were talking about. I doubt I would have done anything. I didn't care much for school, even though science class was one of the more interesting subjects.

I'd punch them in the face. Then walk away like a boss.

I'm in the Bible Belt too.  But if you're talking about a class, or a meeting, or a group of any sort that has a set start time . . . it's up to the Moderator to say "let's stop the discussion, it's time to start".  I don't care what the argument was about.

Shouldn't it be the teacher's responsibility to call security?  If they were black the cop could throw them across the room.

As a History teacher, if a student in my class interrupted, I would send them out in the hall. Doesn't matter what they're saying, unless it relates to class.

Nothing need be said. Simply give them this look:

Well firstly I'd listen to the actual words they were using and try to turn them against them.
Then I'd run away very fast as the bible belt is not known for it's toleration of others views.
If they said "I love Jesus" I'd say something like "do you put it his butt or suck his dick?" for example, I may mention a popular brand of sexual lubricant if I'm feeling fancy.

I don't live in any sort of bible belt and it's been years since I've been involved in any sort of education, but I'd probably just complain and report everyone involved as much as I possibly could.  Maybe I'm underestimating the power of Jesus idiots in places like this, I don't know.


Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.

Impersonation is treason.

I would immediately assert my dominance of the situation by hooting and thumping my chest. If that didn't work, I would provide a practical physics demonstration by throwing my feces at the offending theists, then require them to produce papers calculating the mass, velocity and kinetic energy released upon impact.
