PHYou are born on this Era that you believe Religion Cult Gods are real though none that you know can confirm met one biblical god in real Life, including yourself. There is good sense to think that there must be a Creator of all Life and our Universe and well that is logical.
But then it is in bad sense that you automatically correlate the gods of brainwashed followers of religious cults as the Creator of All,
because they presented you a story book called a bible, a quoran, a torah and what else but their unwavering faith that only followers
like they are will be saved by a single man god. I want to make clear of such nonsense that there is no King somewhere in heaven called Yahweh, or Jesus (he never returned as he described andpromised yeah?) that oversee each human to be punished in hell if they do not worship him. There is no Biblical Satan waiting in the bowels of hell for you. Evil and wickedness stems from the natural greed of each and every biological person, an animalistic instinct to devour others to live. Have you ever wondered how such fiction can save you from the perdition of death to have that eternal life, to live in that new earth? The desperation drives people to worship and makes the excuse
that only this idea of a jesus can save them? from what from death? from hell? to give them eternal life? But that is all blind fiction.
Presented with scientific and historical facts, these beliefs are exposed as illusory vapors in the timeline of man.
So where is God? What happens after death? Is there Good after you have avoided the evils that men do? Are there Angels? Is there Satan?
I can tell you that believing and being brainwashed with lies will not bring you the answers to these questions. But i can tell you
there are ways to arrive to correct conclusions if you will open your minds to what more in the world is there.
So i am giving you some facts of the gods men believed from era to era, to dispel the false thoughts. So you can start with a fresh mind
exploring what you can as your time affords. What we have are the archeological remnants of what gods human civilization revered a few thousand years back,but we cannot see beyond the history of Cult Gods beyond like 100,000 years ago, suffice to say by logic there were more gods that humans invented way back.
**
I will begin with a conclusion and work back for summary of some of the gods with the help of AI for the info.
****
So in conclusion, the gods people worship now are the evolutions or gods they invented.
To find the question of What is the real God and where comes.
We are physical beings, in order to transgress beyond our physicality, there is that window that is not material, the mental capacity or consciousness. If you learn OOB meditation, separating your astral body from your physicality, you will discover worlds beyond the dream state. And there you may see where a human being evolves into higher worlds, you will lay another higher brick of understanding, a new concept of God and Spiritual Evolution, why there is cruelty in our process of life - the creative disintegration of physicality. Unfortunately, this is not what the Abrahamic Religions or World religions teaches as they have not experienced. That is why i view them as religions that never ever seen God or had a truer Concept of God.

Thank you for your question about the origins of Yahweh and comparisons to other ancient deities. I'll do my best to provide an informative answer based on the available information.
#### Origins of Yahweh
The origins of Yahweh as a deity are complex and debated among scholars. Some key points to consider:
1. Early characteristics: In the earliest Biblical literature, Yahweh is described with characteristics typical of ancient Near Eastern storm gods. This includes imagery of marching out from Edom or the Sinai desert with a heavenly host to battle enemies.
2. Canaanite pantheon: Some scholars suggest that Yahweh may have originally been part of the Canaanite pantheon of gods, which included deities like El, Asherah, and Baal. In this view, Yahweh was initially one of many gods worshipped in the region.
3. Southern origins: Other researchers, like T.N.D. Mettinger, argue that early biblical evidence points to Yahweh as a storm and warrior-god from the southern region of Edom. This southern origin theory is supported by some of the oldest biblical texts.
#### Comparison to Baal
Baal was indeed another prominent storm god in the ancient Near East. Here are some comparisons:
1. Shared characteristics: Both Yahweh and Baal were associated with storms, fertility, and warfare in various texts and traditions.
2. Competition: The Bible contains numerous stories that can be interpreted as polemics against Baal worship, suggesting a rivalry between the two deities.
3. Absorption of attributes: Some scholars propose that as Yahweh worship evolved, it may have absorbed attributes from other gods, including Baal.
#### Reliability of Sources
It's important to note that the reliability and interpretation of sources on this topic can vary:
1. Archaeological evidence: While there is archaeological evidence for the worship of various deities in the region, direct evidence specifically for early Yahweh worship is limited.
2. Biblical texts: The Hebrew Bible is a primary source, but it was compiled and edited over centuries, potentially reflecting later theological developments.
3. Scholarly debate: There is ongoing debate among historians and archaeologists about the exact nature and origins of Yahweh worship.
4. Limited early sources: Our earliest sources on Yahweh worship come from Jewish traditions that already viewed Yahweh as the supreme deity, making it challenging to reconstruct earlier beliefs with certainty.
In conclusion, while there are similarities between early descriptions of Yahweh and other ancient storm gods like Baal, the exact origins and evolution of Yahweh worship remain a subject of scholarly investigation and debate. The available evidence suggests a complex history of religious development in the ancient Near East.

Before EL, what were the Gods older than EL
Thank you for your question about gods older than El. This is an interesting topic in ancient Near Eastern religion and mythology. Let me provide some information based on the available sources:
Background on El
El was an important deity in ancient Canaanite religion. He was considered the supreme god and father figure in the Canaanite pantheon
. The name "El" could also be used as a generic term for "god" in some contexts.
Gods Potentially Older than El
While El was a very ancient and important deity, there were likely other gods worshipped before or contemporaneously with El in various cultures:
Sumerian Deities: Some of the oldest known gods come from Sumerian mythology. For example:
Enki/Ea: This Sumerian god enters the historical record around 3500 BCE.
Egyptian Deities: Ancient Egyptian religion also had very old gods, such as:
Anubis: This Egyptian god of the dead appears in records around 2700 BCE.
Primordial Deities: In many mythologies, there are primordial gods or forces that predate the main pantheon. While not always actively worshipped, they were considered to exist before gods like El.
The Complexity of "Oldest" Gods
It's important to note that determining the "oldest" god is challenging for several reasons:
Lack of Records: Our knowledge is limited by available archaeological and textual evidence.
Evolving Beliefs: Religious concepts evolved over time, with newer gods sometimes retroactively given older origins
.
Cultural Variations: Different cultures had their own creation myths and primordial deities.
Syncretic Practices: Gods from different pantheons were often merged or identified with each other over time.
El and Yahweh
In the context of ancient Israelite religion, it's worth noting that El and Yahweh (the god of the Israelites) have a complex relationship:
Some scholars argue that El and Yahweh were originally separate deities that were later conflated
.
By the time of later biblical writings, El and Yahweh were typically considered the same god.

Thank you for your question about the oldest known god in human history. This is a complex topic, as our understanding is limited by available archaeological and textual evidence. However, I can provide some insights based on the information we have:
#### Challenges in Determining the Oldest God
1. Lack of Definitive Evidence: Unfortunately, historians and religious studies scholars don't have a definitive answer to this question due to limited surviving evidence.
2. Evolution of Beliefs: Religious concepts evolved over time, with newer gods sometimes retroactively given older origins.
3. Cultural Variations: Different cultures had their own creation myths and primordial deities.
#### Oldest Named Deities
While we can't pinpoint a single "oldest" god, some of the earliest named deities include:
1. Inanna: A Sumerian goddess of fertility and war, she is considered one of the oldest named deities from a textual source. Inanna was later identified with the Akkadian and Assyrian goddess Ishtar.
2. Anu: A Mesopotamian sky god, Anu is often cited as one of the oldest known deities. His Sumerian counterpart, An, dates back to at least 3000 BCE. However, his presence in the oldest texts remains debated.
#### Prehistoric Deities
Before written records, humans likely worshipped various forms of deities:
1. Venus Figurines: These prehistoric statuettes, dating back to the Upper Paleolithic period (around 35,000 to 10,000 years ago), may represent early forms of goddess worship
2. The Lion Man: This 40,000-year-old figurine found in Germany is considered the oldest known representation of a supernatural being, blending human and animal features.
#### Oldest Religious Traditions
Some of the world's oldest surviving religious traditions include:
1. Hinduism: Often claimed to be the world's oldest religion, with scriptural texts dating back 3,000 years. However, its roots likely extend much further into prehistory.
2. Ancient Mesopotamian Religion: The oldest civilization known to man, with deities like Anu, Enlil, and Ea forming part of their pantheon.
#### Conclusion
While we can't definitively name the "oldest" god, it's clear that belief in deities has been a part of human culture for tens of thousands of years. The oldest named gods we know of come from Sumerian and Mesopotamian cultures, but prehistoric evidence suggests that religious beliefs and practices existed long before written records.
