Title: Gods worshipped in Israel! View count: 250 Rating: 4.862069 (29 ratings) Description: This video, based on the book: The Evolution of God written by Robert Wright, poses some interesting questions. Notice how in the Genesis Yahweh is a god who makes things, like clothes for Adam and Eve (yes, unfortunately he didnt have a clear concept of globalization, otherwise a couple of Chinese tailors could have been enough!). They heard the sound of the Lord walking in the Garden, Yep! Quite physical Hiding quite a naïve strategy if God is omniscient, well maybe he forgot to give a brain to Adam and Eve, or teach them how to use it, and switch it on! Apart the jokes this audio part of the book points out how Yahweh (which maybe was not Yahweh, since we know that the Tanakh have been heavily redacted and the name of the old gods have been changed in Yahweh) is very material and similar to the gods of hunt-gatherer societies. Of course there is the paradox that it is not even clear if it was Yahweh or another god who actually created the universe, and maybe Yahweh was just one of the gods with supernatural powers. If Yahweh starts his career as a warrior god, who is running the universe? This is also another interesting question to pose: which one is the best god to worship? Would the author of the different books of the Bible warn against serving other gods if those other gods didnt exist? How could Yahweh be a jealous god if there were not other gods to be jealous of?
