Interesting concept, Karlis! So, what do you think happened to God-Father that he suddenly changed his traditional policies and abandoned us to some mysterious Son, who is unable to appear in a burning bush, walk the deserts as a smoke pillar, raze the cities with fire and brimstone, save people from starvation and diseases etc etc? Was sending Jesus a punishment for our sins? God refused to be our Father?
Yahweh, the Yaw dragon of the cannanites who is described in the Bible spewing fire from his mouth and with enormous wings, was a creature much like, if not identical to the dragons worshipped in China and 'flying serpents worshipped in Mesoamerica. Jesus berated the pharisees for worshipping this creature, which he called 'the murderer from the beginning', and if we add up his atrocities, yes, Yahweh murdered millions. Instead, most christians believe jesus was referring to Satan, who is nothing but an obedient servant of Yahweh in the old testament, and 'murders' nobody in the bible, save for a few chidlren and servants of Job in the course of a contest with Yahweh.
The 'Father' Jesus called to was not the Yaw-dragon worshipped by billions of uninformed Christians even today. The God Jesus called to from the cross was El, who was also father of Yaw/Yahweh in the Canannite religion.
It is amazing that most Christians lack the most basic understanding of the polytheistic origins of the hebrew theology, and that the Chief God El, and the 'fiery flying serpent and tribabl protector, "Yahweh" were two completely different dieties. And diety is probably an incorrect term for a fire breathing, flying creature that ate calves, lambs and first born children if the parents could not pay a ransom of precious metals. ..... or at least this is what the Bible says.
