Leave that Turtle alone!
With all the Jesus sightings in cheese sandwiches, tree stumps, old chocolate, and stained glass, you might be tempted to think that Christians have a monopoly on “crazy”. Luckily, every other religion is equally embarrassing, and the latest story of human stupidity comes from a small east Indian village, where the local populous has kidnapped a turtle claiming it’s one of their Hindu god, Lord Jagannath.
As you can see from the picture, they sort of do look a little similar, without the gigantic paper crown and hideous dresses or course. Turtles are a protected species in India, and the government is trying to resolve the situation without throwing everyone’s ass in jail. I might suggest showing up with a couple books on skepticism and science. They quite obviously need it!

I’m almost surprised that other religions haven’t caught onto this sort of thing (or maybe I’m just behind the times). Do correct me if I’m wrong but i think that Hinduism perceives cows to be sacred. Who’s to say someone won’t kidnap a cow and start praying to it, or saying “Hey God look at me! I’m looking after a cow, a holy creature! *hint hint – reward me – hint hint*”
