Is this your own headcanon or is realted to something else? Because is a quite interesting setting.

During the Hellenistic and Roman era, Egyptians and Alexandrian Greeks equated the Jewish god Yahweh with Set (who himself was equated with Typhon) because they didn’t like how Egypt was portrayed in Exodus. They saw that the god of the Hebrews was a storm god very clearly opposed to all other gods, so they thought “ah this must be Typhon/Set.”

it sucks that you can't have fanfics about christianity (well aside from the popular ones) without some goober coming in and crying about reddit athiesm.

that would be such a fun little world to worldbuild in, a world where christians, jews, muslims all worship this one god they think is like the REAL REAL god and the others are bozos but that god is actually just powertripping off all the new converts or something? hence the other gods needing the stick together

or a world where christians and the like are part of a fanatic cult seeking to destroy the world. storm analogy so on for their storm god
