Rhetoric: Zeezrom knows very well what Amulek’s answer will be. This debate lies between Nephite religion and the order of the Nehors. Even though Ammonihah has chosen the order of the Nehors, its inhabitants surely understand the Nephite religion. Zeezrom asks about multiple gods, not because there were other religions that believed in multiple gods (although Zeezrom certainly knew of such religions) but because he knows that Amulek believes in only one God. Zeezrom wants Amulek to make this admission.
