If God were real, you wouldn’t need a book

My God is YHWH the Jewish God, Who became a man Jesus Christ, who sent the Holy Spirit when he left.
YHWH was a minor Canaanite storm god. At some point, he morphed into the major god and the Hebrews just claimed him as the only one. Even Genesis refers to the polytheistic gods and the First Commandment about “No gods before me”, acknowledging the presence of other gods.

You still have avoided looking that up, I see.
Standard Christianity.
Perhaps. Except most Christians don’t know the origin of YHWH.
 
Jewish name for god. So what?
Here’s how it works.

The Christians call YHWH their one and only god of creation and the universe. If one researches the origins of YHWH, he was originally a minor storm god in the pantheon of gods. Daddy was El, the top god. There was Baal and others. At some point, YHWH morphed into the top god spot and even stole El’s woman for his own.

So, YHWH was never the creator of earth or the universe. Just another one of the Hebrew polytheistic gods. Just got lucky and made it to the top of the heap.

BTW, another name for YHWH is Jehovah. And true believers are not supposed to utter his name - it has something to do with taking the name in vain - so when you read the Bible and come across the capitalized LORD, they substitute that instead of YHWH.

Okay. I really do not find religion interesting.
