Description: This work is an introduction to the dark side of Jehovah--the god who is also called Yahweh.  The atrocities, brutalities, depravities, and indecencies of biblical mortals are well known--Moses, a lawgiver and a disease victim whose "hand was leprous" (Exodus 4:6), fostered murder and rape and ordered his minions to "kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him, but all the women children, that have not known man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves" (Numbers 31:17-18); Joshua, the legendary warlord who led the armed forces of the "children of Israel" into Palestine, committed war crimes and genocide and "destroyed all that breathed, as the LORD God of Israel commanded" (Joshua 10:40); Lot, remembered for his remarkable escape from the Sodom and Gomorrah holocaust, copulated with his two daughters (Genesis 19:30-38), and "thus were both the daughters of Lot with child by their father" (Genesis 19:36);  David, the fabled psalmist and famous ancestor of Jesus of Nazareth, mutilated the penises of two hundred murdered Philistines and "brought their foreskins . . . to the king, that he might be the king's son-in-law" (I Samuel 18:27); Jephthah, "a mighty man of valor" (Judges 11:1) who is praised in the New Testament for his "faith" (Hebrews 11:32-33), ritually sacrificed his only daughter, a virgin who "knew no man," (Judges 11:39), and turned her young body into a "burnt offering" to the god of Israel (Judges 11:31)--but the crimes, villainies, and indecencies of Jehovah are rarely discussed.  Some of those crimes, villainies, and indecencies--the spoor of a savage deity--will be detailed here.
