Every now and then all the gods got together on Mount Olympus and would party up a storm. There were all the Olympian gods, like Zeus (chairman of the board at the time), Athena, Poseidon, and the rest of the crew. Odin would often make it down from Valhalla, Manitou would come across the Atlantic, and miscellaneous Far-Eastern gods would often show up. On one occasion, this little Mid-Eastern god came galumphing up from the shores of the Eastern Mediterranean.

After the party had been well under way for some time, the little Mid-Eastern god leaped up and shouted, "I am the one true god and thou shalt have no other gods before me!"

The other gods heard his pronouncement and all died laughing!!

Except for Dionysus and Aphrodite who were both drunk as skunks, busy doing "rumpy-pumpy" under the table, and didn't hear him!

That's why the little Mid-Eastern god is, indeed, the only one true god around these days.

With the exception of Dionysus and Aphrodite. And this, of course, accounts for the general popularity of booze and sex.
