Re "Anyone considering these passages, who either sees or believes in supra-material intelligences will conclude that YHVH was not a deity (theos/theon) but rather an evil demon (kakodaimōn). ": The second-century theologian Marcion declared that Christianity was opposed to Judaism and loathed the Old Testament. Marcion did not claim the Jewish Scriptures were false but au contraire should be read as literally true, showing that YHWH was not the God spoken of by Jesus. In a similar vein, French philosopher Simone Weil (who was an anti-Jewish Jew) was incensed that the New Testament was packaged up with the Old Testament in The Bible. The two books she always carried with her were the New Testament and The Gita. Seraphita, you're one smart cookie. You definitely know waaayy more about all this than I do.
