Some of the Gods Mentioned in the Bible not an exhaustive list Adrammelech II Kings 17:31 Sepharvite sun god (day to Anammelech’s night). Anammelech II Kings 17:31 Sepharvite lunar goddess (night to Adrammelech’s day). Asherah II Kings 23:6 & Jeremiah 7:18 Yahweh’s consort; the mother goddess and “queen of heaven.” Ashima II Kings 17:30 Samaritan lunar goddess. Ashtoreth I Kings 11:05 Canaanite goddess (version of Ishtar). Baal or Ba’al I Kings 18:19 Canaanite god (“lord” or “master”) of fertility, vegetation, and storms. Baal-berith Judges 8:33 A regional variation/aspect of Baal. Baal-Peor Numbers 25:03 Moabite regional variation/aspect of Baal. Baal-zebub Luke 11:19 Philistine/Ekronian regional variation/aspect of Baal. Baalim I Kings 18:18 Canaanite gods (“lords” or “masters”), a collective of the different aspects of Baal. Bel Isiah 46:01 Assyrian/Babylonian/Sumerian god (“lord” or “master”) aspect of Baal. Chemosh I Kings 11:07 Moabite war god. Dagon I Samuel 05:02 Philistine/Ekronian/Babylonian god of grain and agriculture. Diana of the Ephesians Acts 19:35 Ephesian moon and nature goddess, (equivalent of the Greeks Artemis). Jupiter Acts 14:12 King of the Roman gods. Mercurius Acts 14:12 Roman god of communication and travel, and messenger of the gods. Also known as Mercury. Milcom I Kings 11:05 & 07 Ammonite god of fire (also known as Moloch, Molech, Molekh, or Molek). Nebo or Nebu Isiah 46:01 Assyrian/Babylonian/Chaldean god of wisdom and writing (Some scholars think Moses may be a humanized adaption of Nebu). Nergal II Kings 17:30 Cuth/Assyrian/Babylonian war and underworld god. Nibhaz II Kings 17:31 Avites god. Nisroch II Kings 19:37 Assyrian god of agriculture; also called Dagon, and could be a different version of Nusku. Rimmon II Kings 05:18 Babylonian/Syrian storm god; also known as Ramman or Rammon, and most likely an alternate version of Baal. Succoth-benoth II Kings 17:30 Babylonian fertility goddess (“she who produces seed”). Tammuz Ezekial 8:14 Assyrian/Babylonian/Sumerian god of food and vegetation. Tartak II Kings 17:31 Avites god. Then there is Yahweh, how many names can one god have? Besides Yahweh (YHWH) there’s the mistranslated Jehovah, the coincidentally plural Adonai, the name given to Moses as Ehyeh-Asher-Ehyeh, then Elohim and El with all their sub-forms, the poetic combination of El and Yahweh Elyon, the name given to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob as Shaddai (and there are more). There was even a time when he was referred to as The Seven: Eloah, Elohim, Adonai, Ehyeh-Asher-Ehyeh, Yahweh, Shaddai, Zebaot. I’ve run down a side tangent a little now, but think about this for a moment: Is Yahweh even a monotheistic god? You really could argue that he is almost polytheistic. From the Jewish take on him, look at all these different aspects and versions; seems more like multiple gods they tried to cram into one. Then from the Christian take, look at the father, the son, and the holy ghost; seems like its just taking multiple gods and forcing them all into a single being. Just a final note, check these contradictions on Skeptics Annotated Bible; seems the verses for multiple gods far outweigh the verses for a single god. heavingdeadcats.com

LOL! Have you noticed that ALL of EEEeeek's posts are off topic and consist primarily of his feeble apologetics for Christianity (as PROOF against science, HA HA!)--coupled with the personal invective we have come to expect from him! A more vile and pathetic creature I have not had the misfortune to encounter. Of course, he believes his rants against atheism and his mindless pushing of a "Jack in the Beanstalk" world view constitute 'on topic' by virtue of his belief that magical thinking is strong evidence against science! What a lump! Only fourteen generations from "Adam" to "Jesus" yet nobody noticed that they were not being hunted by dinosaurs anymore! (or if those manna eaters were the hunters, they apparently took no pride in their coups and no doubt preferred quail)!
