Exodus 20:3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

Has anyone ever considered that there may be times when these are not mutually exclusive?

For a moment I considered it. But then I thought it best to start with God and Him as #1. Then I thought that one should love ones neighbor as ones self. One should be true to ones self, but God comes first.

No. To be true to God is to be true to yourself.

We were made for God. So to belong to God is to be truest to our own nature.

Being true to yourself is to be true to God , even if you don't believe he is there.
