It's not that Yahweh is "queer" but that he was insanely queer

 The “divine” (queer) interloper?
 
All the material extant that refers to Yahweh – mostly in the Hebrew Bible – shows a corrupt being who latched onto some key figures in Israelite history and lore: Abraham, Moses, Joshua, Jacob, et al.
 
Why was this? How did this happen?
 
The homosexual (queer) proclivity of Yahweh is blatant and considerable. Eilberg-Schwartz’ book – God’s Phallus – makes the point eminently clear and with scholarly élan.
 
In Part III of Eilberg-Schwartz book For the Love of God, Chapter Six Unmanning Israel, page 137 ff, and particularly Israel’s Unmanning (page 152) where the story of Jacob wrestling with an angel [Yahweh actually], the struggle is described as a kind of match between the two. [Genesis 34:23-33].
 
But as I offered in my booklet, The Biblical Paradigm for Homosexuality [1976], the “struggle” is less a bodily contention but a masculine dispute with heavy homosexual overtones, not easily dismissed as a homosexual engagement of a serious and manual kind.
 
The touching and ultimate ending of the “contest” makes clear that Jacob and Yahweh (disguised as an angel) were indulging in sexual activity, Jacob hoping for a blessing (orgasm) from Yahweh.
 
As Eilberg-Schwartz notes “While the angel [Yahweh] is able to injure Jacob, Jacob is still able to wrest a blessing from his opponent.” {Page 152]
 
This alone should allow dismissal of Yahweh– Western civilization’s primary “divinity.”
 
But it hasn’t.
 
That the entity or personage who ended up being the divine god of Western civilization displays a profound kind of homoerotic madness, it is clearly a travesty of human mentality.
 
Just a cursory glimpse of what purports to be the actions of Yahweh and his Israelite followers provides a designation of “insanity”:
 
The cataclysmic flood: Genesis 7, 1-24
 
The destruction of Sodom and Gomorra: Genesis 19, 15-26
 
The demand that Abraham sacrifice Isaac: Genesis 22, 1-18
 
Yahweh seeks out Moses to kill him: Exodus 4, 24
 
The deaths of Egypt’s first-born: Exodus 11, 4
 
But a scholarly friend of mine says that these carnages may be laid at the feet of the God above Yahweh, the supreme Deity, and creator of the reality we find ourselves in.
 
So, would this indicate that there is a divine connection between Yahweh and the Yahwists, something profound and cultist?
 
Or does it remain obvious that Yahweh was a usurper of divinity, as a ruse and cover for his madness, his insanity?
 
Next time, a look at divinity in the Bronze and Iron ages, of what academics called divinity.
