    I guess the demand to worship only one god-- and a god of war at that-- will make that deity worshipped almost forever.

    On the other hand, the worship of Yahweh as we know today also has had influence from Zoroastrian god, Zarathustra, who is an icon of love. Zoroastrians also believe only in one God, but it’s not Yahweh. Although, the image of Yahweh as an all-loving deity probably was inspired from the Zoroastrian god, despite the contradicting image of violent behaviour from the bible.

    Religion is just a game of telephone basically, before phones were invented.
