Our war God was the God of the Sky. The main, singular one.
A lot of ancient beliefs and religions often did. This however is not the case we are dealing with. Your argument is more in line of the era before Christianity and monotheism took root. Basically you are discussing polytheism.. And yes, Christianity does take up some of it's polytheistic roots and other religions as well. Jesus for example is pretty much ripped and pasted from the story of Horus. I could go into deep detail on that issue to. However, You can find all those polytheistic attributes btw in the Volcano GOD. A towering plume of smoke with lightning ect can easily suffice to be a GOD of the Sky.. It's possible that these people saw all the polytheistic GOD's in one object of worship and then decided that all other GODs were false idols.. Perhaps someone had a mindgasm about how a volcano can be a sky god, storm god, sea god, fertility god, and a creator god ect ect.. It's not much of a leap considering volcanoes can do all those things they believed were caused by GOD's. In fact, you can see how Baal can fit into this volcano GOD:
Quote:Baʿal (Biblical Hebrew בעל, pronounced [ˈbaʕal], usually spelled Baal in English) is a Northwest Semitic title and honorific meaning "master" or "lord"[1] that is used for various gods who were patrons of cities in the Levant and Asia Minor, cognate to Akkadian Bēlu. A Baalist or Baalite means a worshipper of Baal. In some texts it is used as a substitute for Hadad, a god of the rain, thunder, fertility and agriculture, and the lord of Heaven.
And so you know, Yahweh had a wife btw
