Reminds me of something a Jewish friend told me about one of his friends messing up and ordering a Bloody Caesar at a synagogue shindig. (Whoops.)
I figure there's always going to be a cadre of people who use any holy book as a balm to their prejudices. My religious friends are an exception, of course, but then again, they're my friends. ;-)
(Tangentially, I still find it rather amusing that my mostly apolitical Israeli sailor boy uses "religious" as an extreme pejorative. It -- and he -- appeals to my sense of irony.)
