I really liked that article, it was moving in a strange way. It was also pretty off-topic for HN, so I understand why it was killed. Submitting with the vague title "God" didn't help, either.
I think the title alone did more to get it quickly flagged dead than any other factor. I know I went in with the safety off on my flagger (as it were) and almost did so when words like worship, Allah, and Yahweh (I'm a scatter reader) jumped out at me.
