Re: [asa] On Job

I was thinking primarily of the theological situation, cf. the Athenian
altar to an unknown god. If you believe there's a whole bunch of deities
out there, any one of whom might get mad at you and require appropriate
propitiation, then a stray foreign prophet might just be the fellow who
knows how to make whoever's cranky happy again, especially if your
traditional rituals aren't doing much good at the moment.
