    1. religion is capable of inventing a god that doesn’t exist.
    2. Israelites needed a propaganda boost to rebel against Phoenecians, and offshoot religion helps.
    3. Elders that went up to the mountaintop with Moses can unanimously be on board with Hasbara to fuel war against Phoenicians. Ends justify the lie.
    4. Yaweh becomes supreme god, and Phoenicians deserve death for failing to accept all commandments. Including/especially the very weird idolatry one, that gods would typically accept as narcissistic reverence. Thou shalt kill all heretics.
