Nature, I am not going to respond point for point in regards to the pantheon thing, because I dont see a point in it.

To put it simply, I find it humorous that you say we need to look at texts in the bible to clarify one of God's laws. I didnt see anything next to that commandment that said, (see such and such). Its a law, it stands on its own, and its very clear. He says worship no other gods. The next commandment is seperate from the others. They are all seperate from each other, otherwise that commandment wouldnt be a commandment, but a subsection of the one before it.

God said dont worship any other Gods before me. I want to know what other Gods those might have been.

He also says dont make any idols, of him or anyone else, and worship them. He doesnt want them worshiping any idols, including those of him, because he wants all the worship to go directly to him himself. He doesnt even want to compete with images of himself.

And since we have shown, in a round about way, that this God is what some might consider a jealous and petty God, and you need look no further then the Old Testament for proof of that, I dont think it would be a stretch to think that he would try to ensure that people didnt believe in anyone but him by claiming he was the one and only god.

Thats just going on all the documented things that were written in the bible. Do I think God is those things? Idk, but if he really is, I would have to question if he isnt just something much more advanced then us, and not an actual god.
