The Bible also says you should not worship foreign gods, so I follow the gods of my Norse ancestors.

some say that there is more than 1 god and some also believe that the Father and Christ are separate gods. The Bible does speak of other gods. So how can the Bible also say that there is only one God or no other gods in the following scriptures?
Is 43:10-12
Is 44:6
Mark 12:29,32
1 Tim 2:5
Jam 2:19
We must remember God cannot contradict Himself, therefore we must search the scriptures diligently to understand this correctly.
Galatians 4:8 says these gods, by nature, are not real. In 1 Cor 8:4-6 we begin to understand a little more:
"...we know that an idol is nothing at all in this world and that there is no God but one. For even if there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth, as indeed there are many gods and many lords, yet for us there is one God..."
Deut 32:16-17 "They made Him jealous with their foreign gods and angered Him with their detestable idols. They sacrificed to demons, which are not God-gods they had not known, gods that recently appeared, gods your fathers did not fear."
1 Cor 10:20-21 sums up this point well:
"No, but the sacrifices of pagans are offered to demons, not to God, and I do not want you to be participants with demons. You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons too; you cannot have a part in both the Lord's table and the table of demons."
So when the scripture refers to satan as the god of this world and men as gods, this is in a negative sense. Will we serve ourselves as a god or have others serve us as such? Will we serve satan or other demons who desire the place of godship in our life? No, the Bible clearly states that there is one TRUE God and the others are false.
True God:
Jer 10:10
John 17:3

Considering that the God of Israel, was speaking to HIS chosen tribe and goes on to say that he is a "Jealous God" I would say this more than just IMPLIES it.
I also refer you to Psalm 82:1 -- "The LORD sits in the congregation of the Mighty: He judgeth AMONG the Gods"
I don't worship the God of Abraham -- I worship the Gods of the Greeks (who also happen to be my ANCESTRAL Gods)

Nope, just Read that the Other Nite in the Old Testament.
AnyOther "god" than The GOD, is a False god.
GOD said it HimSelf.
Funny, I just read that the Other Nite.
Hope this Helps!

YHWH made Moses as a god to pharaoh. So you go figure.

Quite right. Satan and his minions set themselves up as gods in numerous religious organisations.
