Yahweh is an angry, bloodthirsty and jealous god. He issued countless curses against humanity and threatens to destroy us all if we do not fear and obey him. The ancients only worshiped Yahweh so that he would not harm the community, but instead would vent his wrath on the enemies of the nation. The Greeks and Romans called these malevolent gods "Cacodæmons". They worshiped Arimanius and Vejovis and offered them blood sacrifices so that these evil demons would refrain from destroying the Greeks and Romans and instead join with them in building their empires. Before battle, the ancients would recite "War Curses" against their foes in the form of prayers and sacrifices to the Cacodæmons. Yom Kippur is one such War Curse. Christianity is another and is based on the scapegoat sacrifice made on the Day of Atonement. The Old Testament testifies to the fact that the ancients wanted to rid themselves of hated Yahweh in favor of loving and benevolent gods like Asherah, Jesus Christ and Satan.
