Speaking of fantasy literature, I always thought Yahweh, Ba'al, Lot, Amaziah, Job, Abednego, Ham, and Gad were kind of silly. I bet you dream about desecrating Bruce . . . Have you no imagination at all? "Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world." -- Albert Einstein "imagination stimulates creativity in the arts and in the sciences." -- Fausto Cercignani

It has been remarked that in Tolkein, the dwarves sound and act like the Scottish, the Elves like the Welsh, the Hobbits like the English, the Rohirrim like the Vikings, and the Gondorians like the Romans. I think the orcs must be like the Arabs.
