No worries. So what makes you say that you don't believe Zeus ever existed?
I said I don't know. But I kind of like mythology. Key word Myth. Do you think Zeus existed?
Are you aware that mythology is just a collection of myths, typically pertaining to a religion? Christianity has a mythology as well. Noah's Ark... Countless miracles... Whether or not Jesus was a real person, the bulk of what's in the bible is mythology, not historical fact. There can be truth laced into the mythology, but it's still mythology. But if that term is preventing you from understanding the point, do you believe in Vishnu?

Sorry man but did you even read my post? I said MYTH. And we were talking about Zeus and stuff. What does Jesus have to do with that? I don't know who Vishnu is, never heard of he/she. Is it some kind of video game you all play? haah

Do you know what a myth is? Most of Christianity is made up of myths. Stories of god intervening with humanity or with Jesus committing miracles are also myths. The only reason people don’t call it “Christian Mythology” is because people still think their stories are actually true.
The point though, is to get you to look at another religion that exists today. Hinduism, Scientology, etc... Actually read up on it and find out wha they claim, and you find yourself not believing in it, ask yourself why, and then try to apply that same logic to your current faith and see if it your religion holds up. That’s all atheists do. They are the same as religious folk on 99% of the religious folk out there. The only difference is the one religion they disagree on.

still you don't understand me. I don't believe in religion. I believe in spiritual. I am not a Christian. I have said this over and over. I believe in the soul and a greater consciousness.. You are really asking me if I know what a myth is? Come on dude.

You believe Jesus is the son of God, right?
Do you think there is a difference between the story of Zeus birthing a child from his own head and Noah’s Ark? Both are entirely made up. The only difference is that some people still believe one of them.

You will never get my spirituality. I do not confirm or deny anything about Jesus. I have never said I do. I do not claim to know who God is or if he has a son. I just know there is life after this life. Jesus is a friend of mine and makes me feel good sometimes. But I don't claim to know who he is. I truly don't think you can comprehend me or that you care to. You just want to do what you do.

You two fucking?
What an excellent post. Post of the week. Super intelligent and funny.

I get confused I guess, because you often talk about your relationship with Jesus. I assume that means you believe he is the son of God. I apologize if that's wrong.
By the same token, you constantly fail to understand my side as well. The whole point of asking you about Zeus was to try to get you to understand how an atheist thinks. Most religious people believe in their own faith and reject all others. People who believe in the bible are commanded by their god to not believe in/worship any other gods. So those people look at every other religion out there and refuse to accept the basis of their faith. The difference between an atheist and the massive majority of religious people out there is most religious folk are atheists towards 99.9% of religions out there. Atheists are atheists towards 100%. It's a really small difference. Yet most people of faith think there is something inherently evil about atheism.

I think I do get your side. My whole family almost are atheists. I'm not that familiar with Zeus. I only know what I feel. Once again I am of no religion. I do not know if the bible is the word of God. I don't know its not. I don't care. I have my own love and I'm happy with it. It works for me and it has no name. All the stuff you are talking about of religion and other religions does not apply to me. I respect atheists and I respect my beliefs. I think you may be starting to understand me, because I do not claim to know the answer. I only know what I have been shown.
