The following is my opinion and not necessarily shared by more conservative Christians (like perhaps Drich and Godschild)...

There is no need to disprove all the gods that have ever been proposed. They could even still exist. That would make them either 1) minor beings of lesser power than the Lord God or 2) only a partial revelation of Supreme Being the worship of which leads to doctrinal errors.

For an examples of 1), the OT Prophets did not go around disproving Baal and Ashura. They only preached that the Lord God was the Highest and/or calling their idols dead wood and stone. The Lord God set fire to the burnt offering for Elijah whereas all the pleas of the priests of Baal went unanswered. Saint Paul did not try to disprove the existence of the Greek pantheon; but rather, preached that the unknown god (Acts 17:23) was in fact the Lord God. The notion of 'false' gods is not that they doesn't exist; but rather, that they are not 'true' in the sense of being the highest or worthy of worship. Maybe Zeus and company are out there somewhere, but it doesn't matter if they are.

For examples of 2), the major religions besides Christianity have only partial or distorted revelation. Hindus and Buddhists revere only aspects of the Lord God and as such they are not so much wrong as misguided. Jews do indeed worship the same Lord God as Christians, but their nonacceptance of the full revelation in Jesus Christ, leads them to doctrinal errors like legalism. Islam is a little different, Saint Paul actually prophesied against the false Prophet of Mohammed (2 Corinthians 11:14). The teachings of Mohammed led his followers severely astray with respect to God's nature and sound doctrine (sorry MysticKnight, I love you to death but I have to be honest)

 Chadwooters, I have no real problem with what you have stated because God himself refers to other gods and it seems as you say minor gods, not worthy of worship or even consideration. They are mostly referred to as wood and stone but, there must be a reason behind those gods and in my belief they come from the influence of Satan and his minions.

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.
