Summary
FFRF staff attorney Liz Cavell tells us about a Christian flag that is being removed from a Georgia county courthouse. Former presidential candidate Ben Carson associated the Democratic presumptive nominee with "Lucifer," while Ken Ham of Answers in Genesis equated the Freedom From Religion Foundation with "the Devil" for daring to protest the opening of the Kentucky "Ark Encounter." After hearing actor and atheist Daniel Radcliffe singing Tom Lehrer's song "The Elements," we listen to Marjorie and Philip Appleman perform Philip's poem "Noah," shedding light on the absurdity of the myth of a worldwide flood.
