What Is Yahweh?
Yahweh is portrayed as the spirit that totalitarians compete with when they build their towers to the heavens. And then in the Abraham story, he's put forward as the voice that calls him to adventure. So it's an animating spirit because animating spirits animate you, they propel you towards movement. There's no way around that. It's one spirit or another. The monotheistic claim is that all those animating spirits need to be integrated into a superordinate spirit and that that spirit has to be characterized and then celebrated. But I don't exactly know what yeah, so well, so tell me what you think about that.
