You are all missing the very important fact that this "Jehovah" was crystallized by the 'down-trodden' and advertised to ill-educated and the poverty-stricken as a great equalizer. God doesn't want the elites - the elites had their own gods who extolled heroes and intellectuals. They wanted someone who would even the playing field by knocking down anyone smarter, stronger, richer, etc, in reward for their absolute faith...which might have been all they had to give.
It was a way to feel better about your own mediocrity, and still is. Years of listening to Christens explain away their lack in every other area except church attendance pretty much seals that opinion.
