Henry,

I also stopped believing in the fairy tales some people told me when I was young. It took me almost 60 years to understand why fairy tales exist and persist within cultural identities. One doesn't have to be a Theist (which I am not) to know that Western Civilization has been greatly influenced by the Judaeo-Christian systems of thought.

The turtle is supposed to have cried out from the desert that we would find salvation. My take, however, is that the oral Hebrew is much closer to the turtle crying out that in the desert we would find salvation.

It's a literary allusion, but not a very difficult one. It might even apply to Franklin Lake.
