"My god is an awesome god" clearly implies more than 1 gods exists.
When you say, "My car is an awesome car" - that's in COMPARISON to other cars.
"My girl has an awesome body" (in comparison to other girls bodies)
"My god is an awesome god" (in comparison to other gods)
Why do christians insult their god by implying there are other gods?

It also implies that other gods may also be awesome since their god is AN awesome god, not THE awesome god.

Because in the Bible it is written like there is more than one God. Genesis 1:26, And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness:
The first commandment, you shall have no other "Gods" above me. Implying more than one God. In the Hebrew Torah, which is the Old Testament, God is referred to using the word "Elohim" and not "Eloah". Elohim is the plural of Eloah, the word for god. Hence the term Elohim (being plural) also implies how it was written that there is more than one God.
Psalm 82, the first line "God astandeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods." Note the use of the word "gods", that he judgeth amongst.
So really the Bible supports henotheism or polytheism.

Because of the simple fact that others believe their gods can over rule ours. Think of the story of Elijah where God burned up the offering and sent rain after the drought, just to show that others gods were exactly that god with a little g. They had no control over the universe and were just made up by others observing the wonders of creation. (I'm not trying to anger any polytheists here, but i must speak the truth,)

Paul said: “There are many ‘gods’ and many ‘lords’.” However, he also explained: “There is actually to us one God the Father,” and “there is one Lord, Jesus Christ.”—1 Corinthians 8:5, 6.
The Bible also says: “The god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not.”—2Â Corinthians 4:4, King James Version.
At 2 Corinthians 4:4 Satan is perceived as a god. So they are many gods but only one true God.

Well, there are instances where the bible implies more than one god, but that's really not one of them. I can say my car is awesome withou there being more than one. Can you say the Earth is awesome? There are no other earths (that we know of).

There are false gods throughout. If man will not worship the one, true God of the Bible, they will make up their own, even making themselves out to be god. Fools.

,, theres some christian songs that arnt inspired by the spirit ... like "lift Jesus higher" ... is taken from a scripture talking of his crucifiction and lifting him up on the cross ... and they sing "lift Him higher for the world to see" ... its sung to praise Him but it was taken from a misinterpretation of the verses ..

Many of the songs of the Christian church ceremonies were co-opted from Pagan origins. As an Example:
Deck the halls with boughs of holly,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Tis the season to be jolly,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Don we now our gay apparel,
Fa la la, la la la, la la la.
Troll the ancient Yule tide carol,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
See the blazing Yule before us,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Strike the harp and join the chorus.
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Follow me in merry measure,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
While I tell of Yule tide treasure,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Fast away the old year passes,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Hail the new, ye lads and lasses,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Sing we joyous, all together,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Heedless of the wind and weather,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
The Pagan Yule ceremony predated the Christian Christmas as did the Yule tree and Yule log. You must have noticed that there is absolutely no naming of entities or birthdays in the entire lyric. It does mention these and the Winter Solstice which is traditionally the coming of the new year.
