It set nobody off even though the Hindi God Ganesha was in it, Jesus was in it, Moses was in it, Buddha was in it and they were all fucking each other.

I don't think so, but it wouldn't change anything even if it was because it would just explain why they were imbecilic and murderous, but it wouldn't make them one bit less imbecilic and murderous.
