Quote:If the President tells one of his people to have you over to a state dinner, are you not invited over to the White House for a state dinner by the president?
Your analogy fails. If someone invites you to the White House for a state dinner, you can check if they have the authority to do so, because they would have some credentials to prove it. On top of that, no one is in any doubt that the US president exists. Someone who claims to speak for a being that has no known basis in fact is completely different.
