The bible makes clear that while there might be LOTS of gods, "God" is the Head God. Not sure if they had a vote or what, but there you go...
Exodus 12:12
And against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment.
Exodus 15:11
Who is like unto thee, O LORD, among the gods?
Exodus 18:11
Now I know that the LORD is greater than all gods.
Exodus 20:3, 5
Thou shalt have no other gods before me. ... Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them.
Exodus 22:20
He that sacrificeth unto any god, save unto the LORD only, he shall be utterly destroyed.
Exodus 22:28
Thou shalt not revile the gods.
Exodus 23:13
Make no mention of the name of other gods, neither let it be heard out of thy mouth.
Exodus 23:24
Thou shalt not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor do after their works: but thou shalt utterly overthrow them, and q

No, gods don't exist. Neither Yahweh nor the other "gods" referenced in the Bible.

There is a great misconception about the gods or demigods of this material world, and men of less intelligence, although passing as great scholars, take these demigods to be various forms of the Supreme Lord. Actually, the demigods or gods are not different forms of God, but they are God's different parts and parcels. God is one, and the parts and parcels are many. God is one.The Supreme God is one and the demigods or gods are delegated with powers to manage this material world. These demigods are all living entities with different grades of material power. They cannot be equal to the Supreme God

You are correct.
That is why the Father is called "The most High God".
I think most of the Exodus scriptures you quote are during a time when idolatry was rampant and is referring specifically to the peoples many idol gods, but your basic premise is correct, God the Father is the head God or the Most High God.
Psalms 82
6 I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.
John 10
32 Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?
33 The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.
34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?
35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;
Genesis 1
26 ¶ And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness:
Clearly this is a plural 'us' and 'our'.

Well I think it is interresting.
It's a reversed variation of the 'proof god exists'discussion we see so often.
This guy is reversing the discussion and is saying "I've looked at the proof of god's existance, and it mentions other gods'.
I'd like to know more about these other gods.
Where did they come from? Astral competition? Perhaps gods who lost their universes? O perhaps their projects' rejected them?
The bible (which is said to be the word of god Himself) states that there are other gods, so where's the details?
We got tons of info about the devil/beast/satan, so why not these other gods?
Puzzles the mind from a religious point of view.

I use to wonder the same thing. but as i have learned more about idolizing. I have heard that those gods are man made. a god could be your gucci purse. basicly a god is anything you put in front of the God. because you are idolizing it you are worshipping it, and placing it in front of God. therfore you are making it into your own god. make sense?

The ancient Greeks worshiped gods.
Oh no! I said the word "gods," so I must believe that there are many gods!
Tell me, if you were writing a book about the Egyptian gods, what would you call them? Rocks? Trees? or Gods?

Generally it's thought that the little gods God refers to are demons.

Dunno.
But that top God is a bit possesive isn't he?
Funny I thought jealousy was one of the seven deadly sins.
Bit confusing this religious stuff isn't it?

Sorry but quoting the bible is not plausible proof nor plausible evidence that god exists.
