Just another note about worshiping other gods. The verse says "Do not worship any god before me." It doesn't say that there are no other gods, it just says don't put them before GOD. So, with that said, it's almost as if the Bible is admiting there are other gods. hmmmmm. And it doesn't say you can't worship them, if just says don't put them first. hmmmmm. So wouldn't that mean that any other god wouldn't be false? And, if we use a god/goddess as our 'patron' in our greek organizations, we are just using that patron for one thing, yet we still attend church and proclaim Jesus as our saviour, we are putting him first. So our using the patron isn't coming first, our church is, God is because we proclaim him our saviour. Just something to think about.
Oh, and one more point. Christians recognize the stories of greek gods/goddesses as myths, as never actually being real. So that's not worshiping. We only worship what we believe. If we don't believe that these gods/goddesses are real, then we never worship them. Christians worship God because they actually BELIEVE in him/her. So really, the whole thing is a pointless topic.
