I think YHVH exists as a tribal God... He's more of a angry war God then anything else. His named means ever-flowing and dated back to his origins as a volcano deity. It's a very bad idea to invoke him, he's one of the most dangerous deities due to his temper.
I think the Christian concept of God doesn't exist at all. It's impossible and contradictory. They endow him with too many attributes that doesn't match with his personality and define him into non-existence with the omnipotence and omni benevolent propaganda.

Semitic Tribal God of the mountains

Yahweh is the one who snuck off by himself after *all* the Gods had finished creating the Earth, Sky, Sea, etc. and men and women as equals. This is described in the first creation story in Genesis ("Let *us* make man in *our* image, in *our* likeness.").
The Gods gave the original humans dominion over the plants, animals, birds, fish, etc., (ie: the Pagans) and then some time later Yahweh snuck off to a garden that even he couldn't see into unless he was there, and in secret created *a* man and *a* woman (no where does it say Adam and Eve were the first). This is the second creation story in the bible.
Yahweh gave his pseudo-humans dominion over nothing, insisted their only reason for being was to worship him and him alone, and started off his relationship with them by lying to them about the forbidden trees (can someone explain exactly how eating from The Tree of Eternal Life will cause death?). When the snake informed Adam and Eve that god was lying to them, Yahweh threw them out of the garden and back into the real world of men.
This explains the age old question where did Cain and Able get wives from and how was there an entire City of Nod for Cain to run off to after slaying his brother. Adam and Eve were created much, much later than the true humans (hey, it's all right there in the bible! Don't believe it? Try actually reading the book of Genesis sometime.).
This is the god of the bible, the anti-social one called Yahweh.

Semitic tribal god, and one with some self-esteem issues at that.

Yahweh is a Semitic word for the Causeless Cause, the Uncreated One who brought everything into existence and rules the entire universe. He is not a Semitic god.

My lady is pagan, or wiccan actually,
But she always told me one two different God's are actually the same ONE, but with other names.
Makes sense,
So God to us is Allah to the mideast culter, but they are the SAME god.
