Is Satan even in the Bible, I know they took like 5 different entities and made it into 1 guy over the years, but if I remember right the whole story of his rebellion and fall is not even in the Bible, it's just fanfic.

It's all confusing cause it's derived from Judaism which originally had many gods, with Yahweh being Dionysus essentially

No, YHWH goes back to El (probably). Or at least partially. There's multiple inflluences for the more central characters

I remember somewhere on Wiki about a deity sitting with his wife on a mountaintop providing water to the area, long before the local people split into israeli and others. Someone knows where?
