He’s probably afraid that he’ll discover that the universe does have a creator and it is God. All his work down the drain like the urine from his catheter bag.

I wonder what courses they teach. Revisionist History 101? How Jooos! Pass as Human workshop? And of course, Palestinian Studies and Middle Eastern Studies.

Being trapped in the wheelchair must mean he has absolutely no idea what is going on in the outside world. The real world that is...not the math world.
