Umm. Answer me this question.. A few hundred years **prior** to the 
Jewish religion there was one that worshipped El, which later became 
Elohim, which later got converted into some generic term for "god in 
general", all by the followers of **one tribe**. So, why did they pick 
the war monger Yahweh, instead of one of the other 6 sons of El, 
Chemosh, Dagon, Baal, Milcom, Hadad or Qos? Seems to me, that the only 
reason Yahweh won, and the rest people stopped worshiping, was 
**because**, during that time period, his followers killed everyone 
else, or forced them to convert, and then later on, the Romans tacked on 
Jesus, borrowed from several other legends, as a replacement for the Old 
Testament's new messiah, which was, **gasp!** supposed to, according to 
**every** text in it that mentions him, supposed to be another true 
follower of Yahweh. Which is to say, a mass murdering war leader, 
dedicated to obliterating infidels.

When you stop following the "official" mistranslated, historically 
ignorant, and badly distorted words of people that **needed** their god 
to be the one and only true god, you start having issues like this. What 
happened to the other 6, and how, when even the original Jewish texts 
still say things like, "you won't worship any of those *other* gods", 
while earlier talking about more than one of them doing and creating 
things, is Yahweh suddenly the "true one", when he was just Ares, as 
apposed to Zeus? I just don't get it... Well, other than its politically 
a lot more effective if your priests are the only ones making the rules, 
and everyone else's are all dead, or disempowered.
