Being an avid BoingBoing reader myself, I've heard of it before.
However, what's needed here is a general symbol for all kinds of
worship, and I doubt that practitioners of religion would agree that
FSM is somehow a generic form of religion, OR be enticed to log on and
fix it - they're more likely turn away and feel offended.

I'm all for making fun of religion now and then but our showcase maps
are probably not the place for that.

Bye
Frederik
