How did this wrathful sky god came to be identified as the unmoved mover?
Atheists claiming to be religious brainwashed the masses.
>>18441260Most of existence is up in the sky so if you're the sky god you're basically god of everything already
>>18441260Uhh, those are letters, sweatyIs that "god" youre talking about here with us right now?? You seem a little distressed
>>18441260it's in the name retard, it literally means "he who is"
>>18441954No, that’s shitty folk etymology. The name Yahweh actually comes from the Egyptian word for donkey “Yaoo” because Yahweh is Set, the donkey-headed god of chaos, destruction, and foreigners.
>>18441260Because they're so desperate to make their imaginary friend, that they'll take anything and mash it into their religion. Regardless of how it fits.
>>18441260A convergence of the increased power of the Yahweh-exclusivist priesthood with Zoroastrian and then Greek philosophical influence. If you read 2 Kings you'll see how king Josiah was an innovator who imposed Yahweh-only worship, supported by a thin veneer of that being the "original" state of Israel's religion. Describing events about 100 years later, Jeremiah quotes Israelites complaining that loads of bad shit has happened to them since they stopped worshipping the "queen of heaven" (possibly the goddess Athirat).
