You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me,
if there is no other God besides it, how can it be jealous of what doesn't exist?
Either there are other gods, or else, it's jealous of nothing. seems rather irrational; especially for an omniscient god, don't you think?
I always wondered that. Maybe god is like Kim Jong-un, the US's North Korean friend.Why would such an entity even need them?

There are man-made gods but only one God.
