Your stance on Hard Atheism

[abaris]

Christians also say other gods do not exist without an iota of proof.

Without proof that they can show you, you mean. That does not mean God has not provided sufficient proof to them. I would fall into that category. God has proven his existence to me in a way which I can not adequately describe to another person, a way which is metaphysical, transcendent, and glorious beyond words, and it should be no surprise that I wish others to experience the same thing. If you choose not to believe me then that is fine, but I would hope that you would believe my intentions are pure.

So try to riddle me this: Exodus 20:3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

Does god hint at the existence of other gods here?

Or Exodus 34:14 Do not worship any other god, for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God.

Seems to be in a kind of competition here.
