What do you make of all this talk about Yahweh being the devil?
I think it's hogwash.
It’s Gnosticism.
I'm happy to discuss gnostic beliefs, but demand an honest conversation. Gnostics don't hold the idea that Yahweh is the devil. They believe Yahweh to be a lessor spiritual being (an elohim) who isn't necessarily evil at all, rather he is arrogant, jealous, prideful, self-indulgent, praise-seeking, war-mongering, murderous, worship demanding, sacrfice-requiring....and so on. You know? All those things that we see in the Old Testament accounts, that we scratch our heads over and think... that's not my forgiving, merciful and loving Father.... not even close.
