Nit
Using the translation listed on Wikipedia: "I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery; you shall have no other gods before me."
Doesn't say there are no other gods, just that you shall have no others in higher esteem.

Another Nit...
Does that mean you can't have other gods at the *same* esteem?
Say... Something like "God" == "Allah"
Huh? What is your take on that?

allah is the same being
with an extra prophet, god didnt change, nature of worship did. They did start with an interesting premise, that there is a full stop, this way until the messiah, messiach, 13th mullah etc shows up, other folks leave room for more direction

And be even more of an Infidel?
You aren't supposed to read it unless you are "of the faith"
Please correct me if I am wrong. I don't want to offend a God I can speak or learn about without committing to him.
