pagan gods ARE demons

Anonymous, this is not going to cut it. Hear what the apostle Paul who predated Constantine by almost 3 centuries had to say:

1Co 8:4 Therefore concerning the eating of things offered to idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is no other God but one.
1Co 8:5 For even if there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth (as there are many gods and many lords),
1Co 8:6 yet for us there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we for Him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and through whom we live.

Idols are representations of false gods.

1Co 10:19 What am I saying then? That an idol is anything, or what is offered to idols is anything?
1Co 10:20 Rather, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice they sacrifice to demons and not to God, and I do not want you to have fellowship with demons.
1Co 10:21 You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons; you cannot partake of the Lord's table and of the table of demons.
1Co 10:22 Or do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than He?

You say there are no evil or dark gods. I say that all of these gods point people AWAY from the only True Savior, Jesus Christ - and therefore - THEY ARE EVIL. Believing these gods will send you to hell, because they always deny our need for God's forgiveness and the importance of the blood sacrifice of Jesus to take away our guilt and curse.

Even in the Old Testament the pagan gods such as Baal were leading God's people astray at times. Nothing could be more evil than to take people away from the Author of Eternal Life.
