KM> Ok, give me a passage. Nice of you to ask. Knock yourself out. From: Norbert Sykes Oh really? Let's look at some of the Gods mentioned in the Bible: Adrammelech II Kings 17:31 Sepharvite God. Anammelech II Kings 17:31 Sepharvite God. Ashima II Kings 17:30 Samaritan Moon Goddess. Ashtoreth I Kings 11:05 Canaanite Goddess.

Tammuz Ezekial 8:14 Assyrian/Babylonian God Tartak II Kings 17:31 Avites God 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.
