>Gods are created by those who need them, for their own purposes.

It seems to me it's more than semantics to state that the gods worshiped by the pagans are just demons. The distinction is important because it's clear that demons ultimately submit to the authority of God and Christ. So they are "false gods." Their powers are limited and circumscribed. They are subject to laws from the Father. So, while they're 'real' spiritual beings, they're not god-like in any respect except that they exist on the 'astral plane(s)' and influence our plane by little understood supernatural means. They're just creatures.

For LdR:

James 2:19: You believe that God is one, you do well. Even the demons believe, and shudder.

1 Corinthians 10

6 Now these things occurred as examples to keep us from setting our hearts on evil things as they did. 7 Do not be idolaters, as some of them were; as it is written: “The people sat down to eat and drink and got up to indulge in revelry.”[a] 8 We should not commit sexual immorality, as some of them did—and in one day twenty-three thousand of them died. 9 We should not test Christ,[b] as some of them did—and were killed by snakes. 10 And do not grumble, as some of them did—and were killed by the destroying angel….14 Therefore, my dear friends, flee from idolatry. 15 I speak to sensible people; judge for yourselves what I say.,,, 18 Consider the people of Israel: Do not those who eat the sacrifices participate in the altar? 19 Do I mean then that food sacrificed to an idol is anything, or that an idol is anything? 20 No, but the sacrifices of pagans are offered to demons, not to God, and I do not want you to be participants with demons. 21 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. 22 Are we trying to arouse the Lord’s jealousy? Are we stronger than he?

MacAruthur on 1 Corinthians 10:19 "Idols and things sacrificed to them…represent the demonic. If pagan worshipers believe an idol is a god, demons act out the part of the imagined god. There is not a true god in the idol but there is a satanic spiritual force."

All for a larp?

Thank you angels. Hate to be such a handful sometimes.

Sometimes you gets more comfy when you hang with frens though.

Psalm 91:1-16

He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.” For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence. He will cover you with his pinions, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness is a shield and buckler. You will not fear the terror of the night, nor the arrow that flies by day
