A Goodreads user asked this question about Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch:

I'm sorry but this book is an insult to all Christians, demons and angels never work together. The rapture should never be made fun of, because the Antichrist is real. Satan and God are real, this man is a deceiver. How can anyone read this hogwash?

I'm religious, I believe in God and Satan, but I certainly don't feel my faith is so fragile I'll be "misled" by a spoof of The Omen. I think most people know this is a fictional book, not the gospel according to Pratchett and Gaiman. If this were released as a biblical aide, yeah, I'd be concerned, but it's a bleeding fantasy novel. Many real people have had books written about them that are fiction. Don't sweat the small stuff mate.(less)
