I think we can compare the two. Who knows? Maybe in another thousand years, Christianity, Islam, etc. will all be school subjects, sort of like Greek Mythology is?

Is it possible that religion changes drastically over the times?

Because none of you ever try to understand our points of view and end up starting a stupid criticism over christianity because you feel like its your responsibility. And then afterwards you complain that christians are the ones shoving it down your throats, when all ive ever seen is athiests shoving it down mine. For example.... Every athiest topic on this athiest biased site.


A. I've never held Theistic views myself but I've studied Theism in detail and I can attest to the wide number of Atheists that used to be Christians, Muslims, Jews or Whatever.
B. Really? You say we shove it down your throats? I've never seen Atheists going door to door trying to deconvert people - I've never seen Atheists stood in the middle of a busy town centre screaming about Godless heathens. I've never seen an Atheist crusade or even Atheist missionaries.
C. 'Oh noez - I'm being oppressed because other people have different beliefs to mine' - that really is what you sound like. It isn't our fault that Atheism makes far more sense as a viewpoint than religion does.

I'm not the one who complained that this forum had an Atheist bias (which is less than likely given that only a minority of people hold Atheistic views - Christianity is the majority). I could go and complain about... I dunno... Something? If it would make you feel better.

Of course. I'm not sure if God exsists, but I'll find out when I die. Anyways... Zeus was like God to the Greeks. So yes, it is like it.

Read the thread before your post.


Well considering the topic....

Considering theres like maybe 3 christians who actually continually post... Obviously theres no bias on this website.

Because all the other Christians realised that their arguments are pointless and they have no factual evidence to back up their claims, therefore don't post anymore?

Well not really, because the Greeks believed in a lot of god, and including Zeus, but in my religion we think differently, it's a sin for us to believe in another god.

The forum itself is open - no bias there, if any Christians would like to speak up then they are welcome - we're just putting forward our viewpoints. You can't hold us responsible for there being too few Christians.

Meh - the basics are still the same LEG. In another 1000 years you guys are gonna look so obsolete you'll be like a computer running windows.

I don't remember anything about not believing in other gods, just not to worship them.

You can even worship them, just not "before" him.

Zeus is a Deity. God is the Deity (in my religion). it is what it is
