The reason I ask is that even God admits that there are Others. So, how do you feel about them?

don't ask christians this. they WOULDN'T see the truth if it blasted their faces with sand. interpretation skills are not taught to christian children, so as adults, they are more gullible.

The other gods are not my gods, but they certainly are (or historically have been) someone else's gods. I believe in religious freedom. If people wish to worship other gods, then that is their right. When I was younger, I was told there are no other gods, but you're right. After sitting through endless Scripture readings at church, I started realizing that the Bible mentions other gods more often than you'd think. The gods of Egypt are mentioned many times. Some of my friends who are into the occult still worship them.

People have created gods of their own, like in the form of a statue or entity, because they decide to worship them. this then makes the statue or whatever who is receiving worship a "god". So, yes i guess there are other gods in the sense that people perceive them to be that. But hey, with those other "gods", i'm hearing the labor pains but i'm not seeing any baby!
So i don't feel anything towards other gods, because i don't recognize them.

There are no other God, except what a person puts before God, that could be anything, television, ball game, money, or what ever he makes. But, there is only one Sovereign, God, and that is the trinity, which make up the God Head.

Well, it depends for me. If by other Gods you mean ones that people worship as our God, well then they would be pagan.
But if you mean people that worship the Sun, Moon, Earth, stars, Mother Nature, then I have mixed feelings about that. Because our God is all of the those things combined and as long as no harm is caused by it, I except that somewhat.

I think that people should believe what they want to believe, I am catholic and do not worry about what God others believe in, I just hope that people can live a happy life and in turn spread happiness, caring and love to others.
That is what really matters at the end of the day isn't it. If you try to care about other people then you are fulfilling what any God in any religion wants you to do I think.

God doesn't admit there are other gods. He says that he is the only God so worship nothing else. I"m not sure where you got your info but you may want to check it again.

I feel that "they" include us and ourselves, and that they have no business being our god. Being a god has to do with whatever it is that you put first in your life, by so doing, you are making that thing your god. Sure there are other gods, but who is your god? Is it the one and only True God?
Frankly, all of those other gods all put together can not compare to Almighty God. I want to put first in my life, the God who is true, the one that loves me the most, even so much that they would give their life to me and want to be with me forever in love and joy.

The God does say in the Bible that we as humans create gods such as TV or money, they become gods when we put them before Him. But there is only one true God.

They exist but they're not greater than our God. All things were made by him and for him as the Bible said. The fallen angels were created to worship God but pride and sin created corruption and the fall of Lucifer and his imps. They want to be worshipped but they are not greater or ever will be.

There are no other gods, only false gods. That is what this verse is referring to. Egyptians worshipped false gods, so did Greeks. Any "god" other than the God of the bible is non-existent.
Quote from scripture: There is only one God, and there is only one mediator between God and man, Jesus Christ.
