Yeah, I also question Yahweh's behavior in the Old Testament. Nonetheless, I believe in Him and his Son because, in my personal opinion, it gives some hope to humanity in this s#!& and crazy world. Because if we were created without purpose or reason, that we just... happen to exist. What hope do we have if we're already condemmed?... Sorry I, I get emotional sometimes.

I also think about the links you expose here: A female among God, Aphrodite as Yahweh's wife, Lucifer as Aphrodite's brother, Lucifer betraying Yahweh. I like to think that it was Lucifer that gave Adam and Eve the Apple of Eden, that this eternal war is that original sin the church talks about.

And about the behavior of Yahweh in the Old Testament. I like to thin of "God" as a group of precursor being. One that was harsh, other that was benevolent, other that was fair, other that was violent, and on and on. Perhaps a divine version of the Seven Dwarfs? Hehe.

Thanks so much for sharing that. It helps me a lot.
