Priest Scrolls

Does it strike anyone else as odd that a priest of Thor could scribe a
Cure Light Wounds or Bless or Augury spell on a scroll, somehow lose
said scroll before casting the spell from it, have the scroll discovered
by a priest of Loki, and then had that priest of Loki cast the Bless
spell, for example, perhaps even on a group of giants about to attack
one of Thor's Temples?

I'm strongly contemplating specifying deity for priest scrolls when they
are discovered in treasure hoards, basically treating such scrolls as
not just magic items, but holy items of their specific religion.

Since priesthoods vary so much in most AD&D/HM games, with large
polytheistic pantheons, perhaps priests could use the scrolls that come
from allied deities, deities from the same pantheon, or deities of the
same alignment.

Thoughts?
