No, the gods themselves did not exist if they were not identified as a single creator God; they were attempts at understanding, and the charge of "God of the gaps" would rightly be applied to those efforts.

However, if and when people acknowledged a single creator of all that exists, then they were worshipping the true God and not images and idols. Muslims and Jews, for example, worship the true God even though they do not recognize the Trinity.

Throughout the course of human history, the one, true creator God has revealed Himself to mankind in various ways - which may include the performance of miracles even among those peoples who do not really know Him.

So the stories of pagan gods impregnating women so that their seed could rule on Earth is really just your god being a perv?

I did not say that all the stories are true. I said that some [legitimate] miracles may have occurred because God desires all men to come to know him.

If "stories" were simply made up "God of the gaps" fashion, that would not be action on God's part, now would it? [Image: no.gif]
