Sorry - but the GODS of the bible cannot be real - and there are LOTS of them in the bible - over 20 named specifically (And not as false gods as well)
THe problem with people who use the "bible" is that they actually have never read the whole thing - and it contains lots of things that they would never believe was in it - if reality acceptors said it.

Gods are CLEARLY human created things to explain to uneducated masses why they should fall in line. We receive no knowledge from gods - and worse -their religions tend to requires acceptance of things that are already proven physically wrong. For centuries - the bible was claimed to be the inerrant inspired word - but over the last few centuries - more and more of the bible has fallen into the category of myth - legend - and outright exaggeration and NONSENSE. THere are lots of things in the bible that are inherently immoral and unethical - that are overlooked by the "faithful".

+ Example - the passover- was simply a story of mass murder done by the god - because the people killed themselves did NOTHING to deserve to be killed - if we are personally responsible and NOT responsible for the sins of another - then the god should be HANGED for what it did in the story.

Thankfully - reality sets in - the passover never happened because Israel was not under bondage to Egypt at the time - it fact it may have not even existed at that time. And as we already know - there is not a single document that can be dated to the supposed time of the christ that even mentions his name - another myth created by religion

YOU may have a right to believe in anything you want to - to claim that your belief does things requires PROOF - something you never give - because no one has ever proven that any god exists. Worse - all we ned to do to determine that the christian religion is false is ask CHRISTIANS - who will gladly give lots of logical reasons why each OTHER denomination is false - leaving none left to consider

You should have read the post before your's, it's quite apparent you have not studied scripture and I doubt you've read the Bible, so how is it you believe you're some kind of authority on the subject.
Many Christians do not read nor study their Bible, but that in no way gives you the right to lump all Christians in one category. Your insult to all of us who spend many years studying the scriptures goes to show you are shallow and immature.
Let's get into proof, why do I need to prove anything to you, my responsibility is to witness of what Christ can do for people, even those who are saved yet need to grow. It's you who wants proof, well my suggestion to you is this go and look for it, ask and be responsible and receive info without immediately dismissing it. God will give you the proof if you truly want it.
As for all the names given to God, they are different praises to describe what God meant to the people at a specific time in history, and all these names remain significant to this day.
You have some real positive statements against God without any knowledge of what you're saying, I would suggest you do research and form your own opinions instead of spouting off what others have lied to you. Grow up and be your own person and not someone's puppet.

I'll give you two, the change in my life, a change I could not of brought about. 2nd your disbelief, figure that one out is you can, hint it will be found in scripture.
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.
