(24,899 posts)The "god" on the toilet is Poseidon, the Greek good of the seas. This is clearly obvious as he's holding a trident, a magic implement that Poseidon could use to create water.
The fellow on the throne isn't the god of Abraham.
(Actually, this reveals another layer of the joke since Moses is following on god but finds another!)
Of course, Evangelicals are so wrapped up in their religious delusions that one wouldn't expect them to understand the joke.

(17,757 posts)I don't remember exactly but it must have been somewhere between 10 and 20 toilets lined up, side by side, with no dividers, to serve a hundred sailors, in our company, in about ten minutes. So the answer was , no, you can't take a dump in peace. Since I was never much of a performance pooper, I had the night watch wake me up 15 minutes before reveille so that I could do the three Ss. (shit, shower and shave) Getting up the 15 minutes earlier gave me a chance for the fourth necessary "S," a quick Smoke before falling out for inspection and the march to the galley for an SOS breakfast.

(17,757 posts)We stood in the hot Orlando sun all of the people who failed the shave inspection dry shaved each other. I was lucky, I mostly had peach fuzz so I generally got by.

I do not envy men having to shave at 0500hrs.
