Elijah's Baal Challenge

The story of Elijah's challenge to the prophets of Baal is a dramatic and pivotal narrative from the Hebrew Bible, set in ancient Israel on Mount Carmel. It features the prophet Elijah, a staunch defender of Yahweh worship, confronting 450 prophets of Baal in a test to prove whose deity is real. The challenge involves preparing sacrificial bulls and calling upon their respective gods to ignite the sacrifice with fire from the heavens. The prophets of Baal pray fervently, even resorting to self-harm, but no divine response comes. In contrast, Elijah rebuilds the altar of Yahweh, drenches it with water, and prays. In response, Yahweh sends down fire that miraculously consumes not only the sacrifice but also the wet wood, stones, soil, and water. This powerful display leads the onlooking crowd to fall prostrate and proclaim Yahweh as the true God. Elijah then orders the prophets of Baal to be slain, decisively affirming Yahweh's supremacy in Israel. The story symbolizes the triumph of monotheism over polytheism and marks a significant moment in the struggle between the worship of Yahweh and Baal.

This is kind of a rigged game if you think about it. Yhwh always appeared in the form of fire, while Baal was a god of rain and storms he would have shown up more as rain winds and thunder and lightning.

Excuse you, but some people don't believe in this made up horseshit. Just cuz some people believe it doesn't make it true or mean that I have to respect their belief in a made up God.
