In this clip he is condemning today's society (we) for their idolatry - worshipping things other than the ONE TRUE GOD!!
He is pointing out that Western civilizations now tend to think they are too smart to believe in God, they are actually worshipping similar things to these ancient 'primitave' pagan cultures.
People who are quick to say "Rob Bell is a heretic!" arent really listening! When he refers to plural 'gods' he is talking about common pagan belief. It doesnt mean he endorses it. He brings it up to sympathise with non-believers, to contrast various view-points and show how Jesus is different.
In my opinion this is far more effective because it shows that you understand and care about the non-believers you are talking to. Far more effective than Bible bashing. He is not about pluralism at all
ROB BELL IS AWESOME!

EXACTLY - He is so controlled by a culturally-driven hermeneutic. The Word of God is not primary revelation to Rob Bell, and it certainly shows.

Rob Bell is in the same boat with Rick Warren on the plurialistic agenda and promotion of one world religion.
