Bibles Wanted For Questioning...

This is a quirky news story-

"Is the Good Book spreading bad bugs?

That's the question raised by a British hospital group after the Gideons International organization asked to replenish the supply of Bibles kept in patients' rooms.

The University Hospitals of Leicester National Health Service Trust put the response to the Gideons on hold, while infection-control specialists debated whether the Bibles could be a source for the spread of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)"

It would be an interesting story plot to infect religious items to attack an 'opposing' group. Scary and wrong, but interesting.

Don't certain groups show respect by kissing someone's ring, and or touching their heads to the ground, or touch the feet of a statue of a Saint? Hm. Could make for a creepy story.

Or what if the antidote to a malady was spread by the statue feet? Only the pious would live. You could design the story either way.
