for you shall worship no other god, for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God, - Exodus 34:14 RSVHere is another example of the Bible acknowledging the existence of other gods. It is funny how a being with infinite-knowledge, power, love, and ego -- would be jealous of something. Why would a being which as great as this one claims to be, be jealous of anything? It is claimed by 'believers' that he made everything -- along with having a 'divine plan' and the ability to do whatever he wants -- so rather God is not all of these, or he enjoys feeling jealousy. Some people enjoy that sort of thing, perhaps this god enjoys feeling pissed-off (old-testament god surely does). Let's say hypothetically you made an ant farm -- you essentially created their world and provided them life (with food and shelter etc.). These ants begin to organize greater then any ant colony ever has -- they begin to create these mini-statues, and worship them. Would it not be ridiculous for you to get jealous of this and poor boiling water on them? Isn't the concept of a jealous omnipotent-god ridiculous? As an atheist, I don't get it -- Christians seem to understand it, my hat is off to them.
