*farts in Besty's bed while he's not looking*

So apparently, Sprunk can fart in Besty's bed. But will he kick him out for it, is the question...

And Baal and Asherah were Caananite gods who were worshipped by some of the Israelites rather than natively Hebrew gods.

Nope, you're wrong there.

Asherah (from Hebrew אשרה) generally taken as identitical with the Ugaritic goddess Athirat was a major northwest Semitic mother goddess.

Baal (ba'al) is a Semitic title and honorific meaning lord that is used for various gods, spirits and demons particularly of the Levant.

The Caananites were specifically not Semitic as they were descended from Ham rather than Shem, after whom the Semitic peoples were named. Hadad (most commonly called Ba'al) was a Caananite god, but there were plenty of other Ba'als to go around, including Melqart, Ba'al Pe'or, Ba'al Hammon...basically in those days there were a whole load of gods knocking about and any combination of them were worshipped by a lot of different Semitic tribes. There are Hebrew inscriptions to "Jehovah and his wife Asherah", for example. The "one true god" thing didn't come along until much later.

And while I was wrong about the fires there, It's interesting to note that Elijah was also a mass-murdering ****head.

And Eli'jah said unto them, Take the prophets of Ba'al; let not one of them escape. And they took them: and Eli'jah brought them down to the brook Kishon, and slew them there.

That's 450 priests he had slaughtered for not agreeing with him. Nice.

My days of not taking you seriously are certainly coming to a middle.
