In reality, the God character as depicted in the Old Testament stories was just a series of Assyrian/Babylonian Emperors who ruled the Middle East for centuries. The Israelite/Hebrew/Jewish kings were just their flunkies. Once you understand that then you can appreciate the fairy tales for what they are. The God character died when the last Babylonian Emperor died with the collapse of the Babylonian Empire. He isn't coming back.
That is an amazing claim - I've never hear that one before.
Links? Sources? I want to learn as much about this hypothesis as I can!!
