The Guardian quotes the former Bishop of Rochdale as saying:

Nazir-Ali said: "Real life is quite different from Sir Terry's science fiction ... The Judaeo-Christian tradition is a surer guide. 'Thou shalt not kill' is about acknowledging the gift and dignity of human life which, whether ours or another's, we do not have the competence to take."

Clearly, the bishop does not know whereof he speaks: Pratchett is a fantasy novelist. You'd think someone whose career required them to be familiar with the Bible would have a pretty fair idea of the difference between fantasy and science fiction, wouldn't you?
