Weird Places Virgin Mary Shows Up: Bird Poop!

   Then God said, "Take your son, your only son, Isaac, whom you love, and go to the region of Moriah. Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains I will tell you about."
The Bible
Genesis 22:2

   If religion is a natural and intrinsic part of a sapient's way of thinking (which I don't believe, by the way, but I'm often told by the pro-religion camp that it is), it's another reason to hope we never meet an extraterrestrial, space-faring species. I'm pretty sure they wouldn't believe in Jesus, Mohammed, Vishnu, or Xenu. And all I need is space missionaries knocking on my door on Saturday mornings.
