Indeed. it reminds me of the entry in my DatabaseOfDotSigQuotes (which I'm not allowed to use as a source of random quotes here since one such gave offence to a religious purist) While the source of this is a book by the late great Terry Pratchett which discusses a religion on Diskworld, I'll take a chance that a clearly fictional setting can be taken as such and not as intended to give offence to any specific REAL group. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Tortoise: 'How many talking tortoises have you met?'
