Hell, yes! (Pun intended).
I also like Bart Simpson's comment after Lisa read aloud from a book on the religious beliefs of an ancient American Indian civilisation:
Lisa: The mound builders worshipped turtles as well as badgers, snakes and other animals.
Bart: Thank God we've come to our senses and worship a carpenter who lived 2000 years ago.
