Thousands and thousands and thousands of gods. You really gotta wonder (considering how human life meant absolutely nothing to Yabber), why he didn't just butcher all these other gods as he did the little babies? Not to criticise, of course. He has surely been a perfect father, in many respects. Never seen any dad do such a PERFECT job of starting a family and teaching love! Swimming lessons and everything! g- So let us not deal too severely with him. EVERY god (almost) has been a selfish, conceited, heartless, racist, jealous, vicious, cruel, and unpredictable son of a bitch. I wonder why they are all like that? lowchensaustralia.com

"You shall have no other gods before me." Doesn't that imply that other gods were in the region or available? Just curious. Good question! Here is Paul's answer 4 So then, about eating food sacrificed to idols: We know that “An idol is nothing at all in the world” and that “There is no God but one.” 5 For even if there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth (as indeed there are many “gods” and many “lords”), 6 yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things came and for whom we live; and there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things came and through whom we live. 7 But not everyone possesses this knowledge. Some people are still so accustomed to idols that when they eat sacrificial food they think of it as having been sacrificed to a god, and since their conscience is weak, it is defiled. 8 But food does not bring us near to God; we are no worse if we do not eat, and no better if we do.
