We know that Yahweh was a war god that was worshiped by many tribes in the Middle East. Archaeologists have shown that the Hebrews were a Canaanite faction that split from the whole. The Exodus never happened. Sure, there was warfare, and Canaanite cities were destroyed, probably by the "new" tribe, the Hebrews. But they certainly didn't accomplish a complete genocide - - they just celebrated theft and murder and rape. And the victor writes the account of how GAWD told them to destroy the EVIL people who don't worship the right imaginary friend. And since the Egyptians ruled the area, off 'n' on, the fairy tale about how the Hebrews were saved by their god from the evil overlords makes a whole lot of sense.
And now we're fighting over the stupid fairy tales. Whether it's OK for a "deity" to tell people to take another tribe's land, murder it's males and rape it's females. Well, sure, that was humanity 3000 years ago. And now a Wholly Babble worshiper is trying to tell us that this behavior is OK??
