Perhaps this will help answer your question: in the Bible it says "Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image... Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them..." To place an image above G-d is to replace G-d Himself with a physical object. G-d strictly prohibits this. Answer your question?

"Thou shalt have no other gods before me." This statement does NOT deny the existence of other gods, it just states that no other god should be placed before the God of the Bible. Of course, the phrase "before me" might be open to debate, because it lacks specificity.

If you'll notice the word "god" does not have a capitalized 'G'. This implies manmade gods, i.e. money, politicians/leaders, false pagan deities, etc. This is one of the many subtleties of the English language...

At your chance to Witness and Evangelize, you have sent this poor soul to coummunity college, and likely his eternal damnation. Not becasue you have a lake of personal faith, but because you are looking to Sophestry, when you need to be looking towards the Christ. Agnus Dei!

Given that "god" isn't defined, I think you're making another assumption there (which could very well be false.)

Well, I'm sorry you don't speak English as well as I do. If you can't tell the difference between the common word "god/gods" and the name of the Christian G-d, you should probably enroll in a remedial English course at your local community college.

At your chance to Witness and Evangelize, you have sent this person to community college, and likely his eternal damnation. You have turned to Sophestry instead of the Christ. Agnus Dei!

As much as you may wish to believer otherwise, I don't have the power to damn anyone. I've said it before and I'll say it again: no man knows what lies in the heart of another man - only G-d.

This is correct. Assuming your god is Satan. Why is it so popular to mock the word of the L-rd? Does it give you more self-esteem? Does it make you feel "cool"?
He is not my Lord.

Your comments lead me to believe otherwise. Regardless of whether or not you openly acknowledge Satan as your lord, he still can be. I don't know what's in your heart but G-d does. Would He say you serve Him - or Satan?
Ok, going to bed now, really. Sleepy time, class tomorrow.
Oh noes... two imaginary figures. Who should I choose?

Why don't you tell us? Your denial of G-d's existance means you definitely don't serve Him. If you don't serve the L-rd, you serve Satan. It's as simple as that. You don't have to believe now - but you will on judgment day. I don't think you'll be denying G-d's existance then ;)

Yes, I see your illogical reasoning now. ;)

And what good would that do? I would merely gain the benefit of YOUR interpretation of the Bible.. (which is based on one of a number of different English translations from the original..) Not to mention the fact that your interpretation is still based on what it implies, rather than what it says.

If the Bible is, as Christians love to argue, the Word of God, then one must pay attention to what it says, because making assumptions about it means that you will get it WRONG.

Please go away.
