• To a person from another tribe. The story was originally the story of their tribe.

    The OT doesn’t really deny the existence of other gods and presumably other creation stories.

      Its kind of hard for mutliple gods to have independently created the earth and sun and moon and stars, animals, the seas, etc

        The Greeks managed it fine. This God made the oceans and this one made animals and this one made wine.

        This tribe had their story and the other tribe had their story and they were both equally true to them.

        This is my rifle/deity, there are many like it, but this one is mine.
