    IIRC, Yahweh evolved out of El, who the OG hebrews considered the best god of the Canaanite pantheon.

    The Old Testament starts making more sense when you realize that there were other gods in the pantheon at one point. Like all the whining about Ashera is because she was El’s ex.

      Christianity stole from Zoroastrianism too.
