      I mean… According to Romans, Yahweh was Bacchus, and even had commemorative coins of “Baccvs Iueus” kneeling, as a symbol of the deity admitting defeat.

        Yeah Romans just looked at other religions, cathegorised their gods as versions of their own and called it a day. Pretty funny actually, even if very problematic for historiography.
