Peter, I read that story from Dartmouth with astonishment, and then the comments from Dartblog with relief. Thank Whoever that someone there still has some commonsense. These three sentences, in particular, need repeating:

“More irksome are the calls of “offensive!”. I think everyone needs to calm down. Getting outrageously offended at the utterance of another person’s religion is Osama bin Laden’s game, not ours.”

Well said indeed.

I have to say, however, that I suspect that if young Mr. Riner had cited Allah, say, or a Hindu deity, rather than Jesus, I doubt there would have been such a fuss.
