I dunno, isn't Yahweh the Jewish term for God? Seems kinda prickly to single that one out.

Old Testament, Catholic/Christian God is, for the sake of Christianity, known as God. So I mean sure, God is an asshole. Yahweh, by virtue of being the same figure in a different interpretation of the mythos, might share traits with the Christian God. But there are different events and interpretations of Yahweh in Judaism, most of them translated directly from texts as old as dirt rather than the multiple translation butcherings that modern Christian bibles are descended from, as well as events and beliefs that the Jewish faith believes in that Christianity doesn't. So Yahweh probably isn't synonymous with the Christian God like this topic is getting at.

Then you have Allah, who's the Muslim interpretation of the Abrahamic God. I doubt anyone on this board would conflate Allah and the beliefs of Islamic people with the Christian God, or vice versa.

Old God in the Christian faith isn't necessarily Yahweh, Middle or Post-Jesus God isn't necessarily Allah. All three are distinct interpretations of the same mythical figure, not evolutionary steps in the same united being.
