Farnan’s lawsuit had cited more than 20 inflammatory statements attributed to Corbett, including “Conservatives don’t want women to avoid pregnancies – that’s interfering with God’s work” and “When you pray for divine intervention, you’re hoping that the spaghetti monster will help you get what you want.”

In an April 3 tentative ruling, however, Selna dismissed all but two of the statements as either not directly referring to religion or as being appropriate in the context of a class lecture, including the headline-grabbing “When you put on your Jesus glasses, you can’t see the truth.”
