  I love how that part admits that there are other gods.

  Maybe the Jewish faith has kept to that but Christians have a long tradition of practicing syncretism and priests were happy just to get a Danish king to say “Hail Odin the all father and Freyr’s might and uh… also the Christian God I guess.”

    There’s plenty of references in the OT to Jews doing the same thing.

    And European Christianity chased out worship of anyone save the God of Abraham rather violently after a generation or two.
