BIBLE pages... Season 4 symbolism SPOILERS

edited August 2018 in The Walking Dead

Clementine is VERY keen to what exact type of paper left at the scene was smoked .

Are the raiders a Christian cult that employ child labor?

Is the raiders base of operation a run-down church?

Abel obviously has a constant supply of bibles to smoke at his disposal.

. It's absurdly specific.

Also connects the religious theme with the Tenn drawing scene.

Wild speculation here.

  • Well, his name is Abel, that's another bible connection right there.

  • Isn´t In the beginning there was the Word some phrase from the bible?
    Only fair that at the end the Word gets smoked. :)

  • Suffer the Children is in the Bible

    Which basically confirms my suspicions there's something very religious related going to happen.

    Also the name of of this novel.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suffer_the_Children_(novel)

    The novel follows the story of a child abductor, who after murdering a young girl one hundred years earlier, returns and begins taking out more children one by one.

  • Maybe that's all they could use for cigarettes at the moment.

  • Whoa! It's all connected! That's a nice theory right there, smart cookie this one.

  • I thought he was smoking Bible pages because he just doesn't give a damn, but I do have suspicions that it goes deeper.

  • If you are a smoker in the apocalypse its likely that you use anything for a smoke...so if he lives in a church there are some hundred bibles to use

    I was fairly certain the point of Abel smoking Bible pages is suppose to show that he gave up on his faith or whatever. His name is Abel which is a Christian name, so I'm assuming showing him ripping up pages of a bible just so he can smoke is to symbolize that.

    Also that whole suffer the children thing is 100% more of a reference to that novel as its about kids being taken. The part of the bible is more about entering heaven.
