I Am Christian

If there's only one god in the bible, why does he insist that "you shall have no god before me" ?

Because there's a difference between God and gods. The former is the source of the Christian faith, the latter is any idolatry given to any symbol or person.

Well you pointed out that worshiping an idol is just worshiping what that idol represents, which is true.
But that still doesn't get us any closer to the answer.
Why would anyone worship a god that doesn't exist when there is such an active god around?

@MetalGreymon The christian god doesn't exist either.

@MetalGreymon Because the people of biblical times wanted purpose so they made their idols for entertainment.

That was written by some religious nutjob to get people to join his or her cult rather than some other.
