Yahweh was actually the old god of the harvest and wine I believe. Before the Jewish Pantheon shrunk to one god only. So Yahweh was similar to Dionysus at one point. There are still remnants and mentions of the other gods in the old testament, like Yahweh's wife Ashira and Baal who I think was an underworld god. Also funny that in the old testament, god talks about other gods as if they're real but weak or bad, doesn't deny they exist.
I recall Yahweh being described as a storm god, but gods often wear many hats. Storms can affect harvests a great deal.
I thought it was a water-source deity? At least 2 of us would make slightly worse christians lol.
I mean, literally all of you would be above par....
Probably all of the above at one time or another.
