God is just another fake creation by man.
Humanity has created many Gods, for example – Gods of Olympus, Ancient Egypt, Babylon and so on. Most of us are atheists about most Gods humanity has created, except the latest craze, the current God in the Bible. Learned atheists have also rejected this version of a God, but some hard-core believers still hang on, presumably until a better image of God is created by man.
Faith in God seems to be nothing more than humans attempting to run away from reality, an excuse to avoid thinking and evaluating evidence. Faith is just an emotional escape and really just a substitute for opening your eyes to reason.
Believers talk about God creating man in his own image. It’s in the Bible so it’s fact – get a grip, get real. The facts suggest the exact opposite. Man created God in his own image. I’m sure humanity will disregard this God, as they have disregarded all previous Gods, it’s just a matter of time before humanity creates another God that better serves their emotions and image.
Today's God is the latest God of Gods, but it is all still fantasy.

I think so since it admits that there are other gods. These passages may mean that no one and nothing is a god compared to the Lord. It could simply be a figure of speech, like 'king of kings.' Or it could be a nod in deference to those people who were still polytheistic at the time and just believed that Yahweh was the most powerful of all the gods. Many people believe that Judaism started out like this. But even God mentioned other gods in the first commanment 'thou shalt have no other gods before me,' so perhaps it's referring to hypothetical gods. Whether or not these gods that other people believe in exist, Yahweh is still more powerful than any and you should worship only him - that type of thing.

"God of gods" is an ancient (and factual) title of God used over and over in the Bible.
The 'gods' mentioned can be either false idols or whatever people put first in their lives instead of God. Things like greed, pride or vanity.
With love in Christ.
