Episode 17 of Cynical Sermons: Christianity talks endlessly about having a “personal relationship with God”—but how personal can it be if most Christians don’t even know who their God really is? In this episode of Cynical Sermons, I take a closer look at Yahweh—the god of the Bible—and reveal a history that most churches never talk about.

We’ll explore:

Why the name Yahweh is hidden behind “LORD” in most Bibles

Yahweh’s roots as a storm god in a polytheistic pantheon

How he slowly evolved into the “one true God” of Judaism and Christianity

The role of politics, power, and cultural survival in shaping his identity

Why the Old Testament Yahweh looks more like a regional war deity than an all-powerful, universal creator

If you’ve ever wondered why God comes across as jealous, violent, and strangely limited in his abilities, the answer might not be what you were taught in Sunday School—it’s hidden in plain sight in the history of Yahweh himself.

This isn’t just a critique. It’s a deep dive into the origins of one of the most influential deities in human history—and a reminder that religion evolves the same way any other human story does: through myth, politics, and cultural spin.
