Yeah, yeah, they exist! No doubt about that. Bill, there are so many false gods out there that you couldn't shake a stick at all of them...

What do you think that passage was about in the Bible that warned about having "no other Gods before me"?...it was about the many other worldly things that people choose to serve and worship in preference to Spirit...in preference to Love....in preference to the Golden Rule.

It was about selfishness, greed, acquisitiveness, ambition, lust, pride, ego, vengeance... and all those other self-aggrandizing things that people serve in their insecurity...including vicious and exclusionary religions and churches that serve not Spirit, but themselves.

Look at what a person DOES on a daily basis, how he acts, what he willingly gives his attention to, and you will see what it is that he truly worships and serves. He either works in favour of Life in general...or he depletes and damages Life in general. Spirit is all of Life, not just one privileged part that has been set up as a false god over the rest.
