    Yahweh was a war god before a schism in the faith. “He” consolidated power and did away with the other gods.

      There is no yahweh and there never has been. Humans badly need to reconcile with their history of running their world by scammy skygod myths.

        Never said Yahweh existed just a comment about the origins of the myth.

      “He” meaning the society and politics at the time which needed a war god to rally support against suppression and invasion. Before such events Yahweh still had believers (Yahwists) but they were a smaller group compared to other god worship. Until wartime, of course.
