Xtians are getting their feathers ruffled by Orville
No, not the green duck - that's understandable - but Seth McFarlane's Star Trek love letter:

World Religion News Wrote:The most recent episode “If The Stars Should Appear” has the crew investigate a gigantic ship that is ruled under a “dictatorial theocracy.” The inhabitants are so dogged about their faith that they are willing to plunge the ship into a sun rather than question their religious beliefs. One of the main characters mocks the society: “the common impulse of biological life forms to attribute the origin of the universe to an omnipotent being is most curious.” The show has previously caused ire over an episode that involved a sex change of a newborn infant.

As I commented on my FB feed, "So rather than tackling the actual premise of the episode in question, pointing out why it's wrong in their view, or at least engaging it head on and thinking about it (which is the whole point), they do the usual and play the outraged martyr card. The next move is to call for cancellation. The real pathetic irony is they're only drawing attention to the very thing they find objectionable, resulting in many more viewers."
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'
