If you look real closely at the old testament, there are mentions early on of other gods. The "false gods" rhetoric only comes on a little later. That "no other gods before me" line doesn't mean that there are no other gods, just that Jehovah's claiming the top spot.
So I guess I'd go worship somebody else. Zoroaster, maybe. You notice that Jehovah never really wiped out any of the Israelite's enemies; maybe a town here, an army there, but that's it. So there's a lot of percentage in being a Philistine, say, the people that'd come over from the coast and whup the Israelites' asses every so often. Or a Persian. Jehovah never laid a hand on the Persians.
