Hate to break it to y'all but this may very well hold true for all the Abrahamic religions. There is very good evidence to suggest that Yahweh is Dionysus or Baccus aka Saturn. Heard of the whole Demiurge notion that came out of Gnosticism in the early Church before Constantine's cronies laid down the law? Anyway... I have a running theory that all monotheisms eventually run into a fatal flaw of converting their one pure Good God into the one pure Evil god, by making deals with it... and then having to keep this secret, and then having to protect the secret knowledge by force and control... it is the Achiles' heel of all monotheistic traditions. Perhaps what Jesus came to correct. Here is something I just found about Yahweh as Dionysus. Quite interesting:

I don't doubt it, I’ve heard God has many names. “YHWH means “I am”, Jehovah means “My Lord”, El Shaddai means “My God”, El Roi “The God who Sees Me”, El Elyon “God Most High”, Adonai “The LORD” Then of course there’s Jesus Christ. And more into the relationship names of Father, Heavenly Father, Savior, Creator. My Love, my friend.
I watched some of it. I’ll admit that I’m very unfamiliar with Greek gods and the such. But I get, from reading the comments, how the video shows the overlapping beliefs of Greek and Judaism. It’s a bit over my head overall. As one commenter said, “Might be a good topic for a scholarly round table”

'Dasting stuff. I'm curious what you'd think of the vid I linked. More of exactly these kinds of linguistic connections and observations.
