I know there's a theory out there that Yahweh was originally one of many gods, specifically a war god, whose followers eventually took over. I'm having trouble finding the source (and it probably wasn't highly reputable) but given what's in the Bible? It's a theory I could easily believe in.
The Bible has some terrifying things in it if you actually read the thing.
