    I have a fan theory about the Bible. It explains why God is so schizo.

    In the Old Testament, there are two Gods. One of the two is exclusive to the Old Testament.

    The God that appears in both Testaments is called "El" (most often known in the plural form "Elohim"). El is the supreme God and creator of the universe, and disappears (either mostly or completely) from the Old Testament after Genesis. Things like the great flood and the Garden of Eden are his work.

    The other God in the Old Testament is "Yahweh". Yahweh is exclusively the God of Israel and is introduced in Exodus 3. He takes over the main "God" role for the rest of the Old Testament and is the guardian of the Jewish people. Ancient Semitic religion had a God for each nation, and Yahweh was in competition with the Gods of other nations (human conflicts are these Gods fighting proxy wars). The power of these Gods waxes and wanes according to how widely worshipped they are, and the worshipping of one nation's God by another is an act of treason. That's why God is so jealous in the Old Testament; if Jews worship other Gods, they are committing treason. And his warlike nature is what makes him jingoistic and genocidal. He is responsible for all the fighting and weird commandments.

    In the New Testament, El has done away with the ethnic Gods, and Jesus is meant to represent the end of war; a God for the whole world for the first time since Genesis. A return to the golden age before Yahweh.

    Furthermore, El and Yahweh were conflated and seen as the single true God as a way of dealing with the fact that the conquering of Israel by foreign empires would have implied that Yahweh was inferior to their Gods.

    Most of this fan theory is 90% plagiarised from (possibly fringe) published theories about the Bible and ancient Semitic religion, although I've put my own twist on it. The bit about Jesus replacing the ethnic Gods is an original idea (as far as I know).

    Now that I think about it, if someone saw the Bible as a work of non-fiction, this fan theory could be used as an argument for antisemitism.

    btw, since I'm the Pope, this theory is now official Canon

    Lol.

    He's an insightful metatroll.

    Maybe the same as being a patient patient.

    What about the fan theory that Ika Musume is the daughter of Cthulhu?

    Another fan theory I came up with (and I've been brewing for a while)

    Dr House is really adult Doogie Howser.

    Vinnie suddenly died, killed by a very obvious disease that should've been noticed by Doogie of all people. Feeling responsible for his friend's death, Doogie began abusing alcohol, and began distancing himself from his family and eventually stopped all contact with friends.

    Eventually he moved to a different city, having changed his name and after going back to school to get more degrees. Remember, he feels responsible for Vinnie's death, so he now feels compelled to knowing everything of the most obscure diseases out there.

    this could also explain why House is so reluctant to make friends and in general let people get close to him. As for the family he could simply have made up a new set of parents to go with his new name and identity, and distance himself from his life as Doogie (the Doogie he feels failed his friend Vinnie)

    Oh and in case you're curious as to what killed Vinnie, its simple. What is the one disease House is always absolutely sure about?

    Lupus.

    Also to Kudi:
    Consider the following:
    The Hebrew religion was originally a polytheistic religion, but the followers of the war god, Yahweh believed that you should only worship Yahweh and not the other gods and that's why they aren't mentioned in the Bible anymore.
    See the first commandment: "You shall have no other gods before me.", not "There are no other gods" and it specifically mentions other gods. He also refers to himself as "your God".

    That's exactly one of the points I was trying to make. Other gods exist, but they shouldn't be worshipped because they are the gods of other nations. The Ten Commandments are a leftover from the early period of Judaism.

    The only point on which we differ is that I think the roles of the gods of the ancient Semitic pantheon were to look after a specific tribe rather than to take care of a specific force of nature or an abstract concept like the Greek Indo-European ones did.
