Biff was in the Danger Room, which was set up as hot, dark, desert town, sipping on a huge mug of coffee as the class arrived.

"Though they've fallen out of favor now," Biff said, "at least on this world, the major religion that dominated my time was a polytheistic one. The Romans had gods -- and graven idols -- for everything. We Jews have just the one. Um, God, not graven idols. We didn't do well with graven idols. I was told by a Phoenician that we wouldn't worry so much if we had more than one god, but he also told me that he'd screwed a turtle, so I'm not really relying much on his spiritual guidance."

He leaned against a pillar. "Your task today isn't to decide if there is a god, or multiple gods, and it's certainly not to rant at me about whatever wrongs you feel religion has inflicted upon you."

He waved a hand towards several giant statues of Apollo. "Your job today is to circumcise that statue of Apollo before the Roman centurions catch you."

He grinned. "It's a religious experience. Really."

"...oh. That wasn't clear."

"Well they didn't," Seely said in a strangled tone.

"Still, though!" she said, frowning. "Our babies won't have that happen."

"I wasn't exactly planning on it," Seely said, grinning slightly.

"It's cruel and wrong and no, our children will stay intact," she declared.

Seely was definitely grinning now, quite dorkily. "Whatever you say."

"...why are you smiling?"

"Our children," Seely replied, still grinning.

Aravis shrugged uncomfortably. "In many, many years."

"I can wait."
