Nope - Not 2,780

Ricky Gervais says, "It’s strange that anyone who believes that an all-powerful all-knowing, omniscient power responsible for everything that happens, would also want to judge and punish people for what they are. From what I can gather, pretty much the worst type of person you can be is an atheist. The first four commandments hammer this point home. There is a god, I’m him, no one else is, you’re not as good and don’t forget it. (Don’t murder anyone, does not get mentioned till number 6.)"

He has a good point. So I asked myself why might that be? The only answer I can come up with is perhaps because God interacts with people where they are. Maybe it is a guess, but 2,780 gods have supposedly been documented. In an era when people worshipped multiple gods, He was letting people know, "nope, not 2,780 gods, only 1 and He/She/It is Good". Well maybe the Good part came 1500 years later.
