Just something I want to think more about.

Thou cannotst go there. Who do you think thou art? A magistrate?!

Obvious exits are NORTH, SOUTH, and DENNIS.

No, I'm thinking more along the lines of using it in a similar way to "sexual orientation". Trying to see if it will be a useful paradigm to work with. I (and I think you and the rest of my friends) tend to see religious beliefs as a choice, an ideology one decides to follow or not, and should discard if it does not make sense and/or prove useful. But a lot of people don't approach religion in that manner, they approach it as something they inherit from their parents and have been instructed in from a VERY young age, long before they were able to make rational choices about it. Taken together, this can be roughly analogous to the genetic and environmental factors that are believed to be responsible for sexuality.

I think you have a good idea here; I'm not feeling very articulate, but hopefully it'll be something good for you to write about.
