In this day and age, when political correctness and non-discrimination is so important, why not just love ALL of the Gods. Then you can easily accept the line in the temple... "And they, the GODS, did create heaven and earth." (Much easier than singling out one God and then being disappointed because He/She didn't help you find your keys!) [/sarcasm]
