                                      also known as Ramman/Rammon.
   Succoth-benoth   II Kings 17:30  Babylonian fertility Goddess ("She
                                      Who Produces Seed"), also known as

Please note that I'm not referring to any Deities not mentioned by name (for instance, the golden calf is not here). only alluded to, or ones I was just too tired to look up. };) I believe this gives us enough to work with. As you can see, it cleanly refutes your argument that Jehovah/Yahweh was the only God. That it does so in the 'supposed' word of God is a bonus.
