All the latest killings could have been prevented if the man'd smitten the prophet with an axe right at the beggining...

Now that is messed up :/

True, twilight, but what if he'd accidentally killed the prophet? What would God do, then?

Granted, the prophet, in real life, was probably a delusional nutcase who though God directed every course of his life (like a less-sympathetic Joan of Arc), but that still doesn't mean the Bible writers themselves had to write in a plot hole the size of freakin' Belgium.

Also, am I the only one here who, for the life of him, cannot make sense of what the prophet tells Ahab under his disguise? It's got so many references to so many different people who are never clarified that the whole thing's just one, big jumbled mess...

...kind of like the whole Bible, itself, in fact.

Well, Matthew: that god could not do anythings else, but trusting the case on another prophet of him. Then you smite that with the axe too and so on, until no more follower of that bastard remains, and that way you get rid of that god.

Things in the bible are already messed up enough with the god in it going around doing stuff, we don't need any other character going around doing things in his name.

Yeah; we've already got enough people doing that in today's world... ;-)

By the way, if there's anyone wondering who I am: I'm matt311 under a new name; hope you don't mind.
