I hate recap episodes. They're so boring.

It is explicitly stated as early as the second book that neither Richard nor Zedd believe in a Creator in the personal god sense (Zedd considers it a metaphor for balance in the world of life or some such).
That... makes no sense. In a Universe where there's magic and prophecies and spirits and a Keeper of the Underworld, why would the worshiping of a creator be mocked? A divine creator in that kind of world would make sense. Not really a subtle way of interjecting his own personal beliefs imho.
