Shadow,are you talking to me? I never said anything to imply that "my god" is the only one or that others acknowledge Him. I said He's jealous, but not so jealous as long as we worship Him alone in our private hours.

And Spirit, do you say I'm rude because I said "You people"?

The word god was and is a descriptor for a being that is inherently in control of our existence after some fashion. Gods were created by men to govern over all aspects of human existence, but the responsibilities were divided among them. No god before Elohim has claimed responsbility for ALL aspects of existence unto Himself. So when God claims jealousy over other gods, he means those created by men, not that there are actually other gods. In fact, the term jealous was simply the most apt qualifier that humans could understand and relate to. Probably, the better qualifier God should have used was that He is greedy. Greedy for love. The love and worship of all mankind. He doesn't want a single soul to give their adoration to someone or something else. That's why He can be described as jealous. If you're worshipping a fork, you're not worshipping God. It's like if you have a kid and you do everything for that kid and he spends his whole life in love with a blanket (or at most someone who has never been their for him) and neither respects or acknowledges you. Wouldn't that piss you off a little? Wouldn't that tear you up inside? Sure, you could logic yourself into a little ball in the corner by saying he's "special" or something. But what if he's not? What if, out of all the people in the world, you (his caretaker) are the one person he chooses to ignore?
