and if people had any stake in their religion they’d know and understand the origins of their god.
I’ve studied the history of the Abrahamic god for 30 years, and I never believed in that god in the first place.
The Abrahamic god is three gods in the Canaanite pantheon rolled into one monotheistic religion.
El, Yahweh and Asherah, El’s consort or wife. El was the god that created all gods, including Ba’al, Anat, Yahweh.
The worship of El is very clear in the Torah/Bible. Elyon, El Shaddai, El Elyon. Yahweh doesn’t show up for another 900 years in the historical context of the Torah, even though Yahweh was a main god worshiped by the ancient Canaanites.
Asherah was the creator of all living beings. Her creation story was then used by the Israelites as “gods” creation story. Not a single thing in the Torah/Bible originated from the Israelites. Every single thing in it is Akkadian, Sumerian, Assyrian, Babylonian history, myth and folklore.
The Abrahamic god does not exist and the proof is in the history of the god(s).
Might there be a book or articles you might recommend that outlines the lineage of this? I'm curious about learning more, not on a PhD level, more of a love history level, aka lifelong learner.
