<p>RANDAM: /* Other gods in the Bible */</p> <hr /> <div>As opposed to [[God]], people have worshiped '''other gods''' throughout the history of humankind, usually in the practice of organized religion. The term &quot;other gods&quot; comes from the [[Ten Commandments]], where God said &quot;You shall have no ''other gods'' before me&quot; ({{Bible ref|Exodus|20|3}}).<br /> <br /> While the word &quot;god&quot; refers in a general sense to any deity that is or has been worshiped as part of a theistic belief system, when spelled with an upper-case &quot;G,&quot; the term is normally referring to the God of the [[Abrahamic religions]], the One True God.<br /> <br /> Interestingly, there are even godless religions, that is, religions that worship no gods as such. These include [[Buddhism]] and [[Taoism]], which worship no other god at all, at least not in the sense that [[God]] is defined. Rather than emphasizing worship, whether that of [[God]] or other gods, such religions tend focus on the development of truth, knowledge and inidvidual enlightenment.<br /> <br /> THERE ARE NO GODS, SORRY :)<br /> <br /> ==Short Story==<br /> <br /> Horror writer [[H.P. Lovecraft]] once wrote a short story called &quot;The Other Gods.&quot;<br /> <br /> ==Historical==<br /> <br /> Other gods worshiped historically include [[Zeus]], [[Vishnu]], and [[Aphrodite]].<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> &lt;references/&gt;<br /> <br /> [[Category:Paganism]]</div>
