Okay, here is my dilemma. Perhaps someone could help me with this, or put on a theist hat and pretend, but this is seriously troubling to me.
In the 10 Commandments - god makes sure to be perfectly clear that he only wants you to worship him/her/whatever and that you must not have any other gods. Now, being an omniscient god, is this admittance that there ARE other gods out there? Because, if there are not, then what would be the point of even wasting several commandments for nothing? I'm super curious if there's any sort of apologetic argument for this.
I hope this makes sense, and I am well aware that I may not get a rational answer considering the subject, but I have to try!
