Religion and Monstrous Regiment

Well, I haven't finished the book yet, so I might be missing something or writing something that will be disproven later. So with that said, I wanted to talk about Wazzer the zealot. I loved the way Pratchett describes how everyone felt embarrassed by her show of religion and faith, because it is so accurate. People do feel a weird embarrassment when someone acts out in such a way. Her faith is what makes her a "monster" in the group; it is what makes her different and scary. I also enjoyed how her prayers would seemingly come true (e.g. the turkey and the coffee). I am really looking forward to finding out if Tonker will be converted and if Polly will come to religion too.
