Does Yahweh the Biblegod Exist?

First, let’s get one thing out of the way: there is existence as a concept, an idea in the mind. As far as that goes, every god that man has created exists, as a concept in the mind of man. Then there is existence, as in, guns exist and they can do a lot of real harm; that needs no proof, as we have had proof of that for centuries.
Having said that, I would then say that no, Yahweh, the god of the Bible, doesn't exist. That was the short answer, the long answer is why I'm writing this essay. I will demonstrate why I think it is impossible for the biblegod to exist. If this deity is described in a self-contradictory manner, then it follows that it is non-existent, according to the law of contradiction; and biblegod most certainly falls into this category.

Biblegod The Good & His Chosen People

Have you ever read how biblegod treats his so-called chosen people? It's a learning experience. One would think that he would have all kinds of patience with them and accord them mercies galore. After all, he's supposed to be good and merciful, isn't he? At least That's what we're told.
The Bible doesn't read that way though. No, not at all. In this installment of "Biblegod The Good" we'll be looking at how YHWH, god of the Bible, really treats his chosen people and why being YHWH's chosen doesn't necessarily mean it's a good thing. We'll look at a few examples of YHWH's "goodness" toward his chosen. We'll look at two examples of YHWH's "goodness" toward those he "loves".
