When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours." - Stephen F. Roberts The Christian Bible admits to all kinds of Gods but of course does not like the competition Genesis 31:19 When Laban had gone to shear his sheep, Rachel stole her father’s household gods. Genesis 31:30 Now you have gone off because you longed to return to your father’s household. But why did you steal my gods?” Genesis 31:32 But if you find anyone who has your gods, that person shall not live. In the presence of our relatives, see for yourself whether there is anything of yours here with me; and if so, take it.” Now Jacob did not know that Rachel had stolen the gods. Genesis 31:34 Now Rachel had taken the household gods and put them inside her camel’s saddle and was sitting on them. Laban searched through everything in the tent but found nothing. Genesis 31:35 Rachel said to her father, “Don’t be angry, my lord, that I cannot stand up in your presence; I’m having my period.” So he searched but could not find the household gods. Genesis 35:2 So Jacob said to his household and to all who were with him, “Get rid of the foreign gods you have with you, and purify yourselves and change your clothes. Genesis 35:4 So they gave Jacob all the foreign gods they had and the rings in their ears, and Jacob buried them under the oak at Shechem. Exodus 12:12 “On that same night I will pass through Egypt and strike down every firstborn of both people and animals, and I will bring judgment on all the gods of Egypt. I am the Lord. Exodus 15:11 Who among the gods is like you, Lord? Who is like you— majestic in holiness, awesome in glory, working wonders? Exodus 18:11 Now I know that the Lord is greater than all other gods, for he did this to those who had treated Israel arrogantly.” biblegateway.com
