EXODUS 20:3-5"You shall have no other gods before

me. "You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven

above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to

them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those

who hate me,
