"Thou shalt have no other gods before Me"

RE: "Thou shalt have no other gods before Me"
Not to put too fine a point on it, but xtianity is considered a monotheistic religion. All that is left is for them to not believe in that last rat bastard.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

So Khem, is Christianity a CF of misunderstanding and misinformation that's worked out well for those wishing to take advantage of the patron's cluelessness? It's not like that planned the corportate business model structure 1700 years ago. Dunno

RE: "Thou shalt have no other gods before Me"
While the many things that combined to become early christianity very much was a clusterfuck (that actually didn;t work well for most of the people involved)....magic book as we see it today is and was the product of planning and negotiation by a bunch of proto-mafiosos who invented the catholic church. Does that qualify as planning the business model? Their doors are still open, too!

Are you saying that in 1602, the catholic priests who compiled and translated the stuff into the KJB, had already drank the koolaid, or were instrumental in (and in on it, so to speak) creating the RC empire?

1700 years ago, not 1700 ad, lol. Think of it like an mlm. By the time you get to the mid level people, they sincerely think its legit...not as much as the fanatics at the bottom...ofc, but enough.

OK, so the koolaid's been fermenting for quite a while in it's current "white jesus" form.

They were many things but they sure as fuck weren't "catholick."

Just a bunch of protestant fucktards who wanted the king to like them.

Which seems to be pretty much the only thing protestants care about today, too.

But it was already in god's plan for Satan to fall,  so he was doomed from the get go.

No it was not, Lucifer chose to disobey God and the result was his damnation.

What's the difference?

Angels channel the power of gods right?

So is Satan channelling Mr God's power?

Angels have powers God has given them Lucifer was the most powerful of angels but his powers are now restricted because of who he became.

I love this commandment! What does it tell us?
Theists, If it's from God, then logically it tells me that God knew there are other gods around competing for your worship.
And that he urges you profusely to worship him in particular (or else you'll burn! mofo. Geez, you're a great salesman God! Go Yahwey!)
Theists, Do you acknowledge this at least? If not, why not.

We atheists feel it's infinitely more probable that this was written by men. Men who knew that different cultures supported or favoured different Gods (religions).
Men who had a vested interest in swaying the masses towards a particular theology. Why else would this threat need to be written if it wasn't about control?

Looking forward to some enlightenment from theists...

  God was speaking about all the man made idols, those of wood and stone, like wise money and fame. Anything that's put first in one's life over God is an idol.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
