Apparently, even when Americans vote Democrat they are still Nazis at heart. And the prophet Elijah was just like Barney Frank.
(In fairness, another episode of “Blogging the Bible” compares God to Don Rumsfeld).

The Barney Frank line has to be one of the dumbest quips I’ve heard in a long time. I find it especially ridiculous because I often use exactly that scene from Kings in response to Reform Judaism’s description of its own positions as representing “prophetic Judaism.” My response usually goes something like this: You remember how the prophet Elijah mocked the priests of Baal at Mount Carmel because they didn’t allow gay marriage?
