Why are Zeus, Hera, Aphrodite, etc all considered to be mythology, and yet the Abrahamic God is considered to be real?

What is the defining difference between the Greek/Roman Gods and the Abrahamic God?

Also, how long will it be until the Abrahamic God is written off as mythology, and will he be replaced by another "god" or other "gods"?

I've wondered why there are atheists on R and S for quite a while now. I mean, being an atheist basically means that you don't have a religion, right? So why bother being here?
Don't get ticked off at me because I'm asking this, and don't post any foolish answers! Thanks.

They must know the letter kills and all the great masters where gentle and kind. What happened. Too much following Paul or others? And what's up with Atheists, is hate one of the rules? Or is that not Atheism, but something else and what?

It's as if neither they, nor their God, has any sense of humor whatsoever. The sin of self-righteousness is nearly as sick as the sin of pride. It's a combination of self abuse and abuse of power. Can't you lighten up? We're just trying to have a good time here...and maybe advance a few friendships....you have nothing better to do with your good intentions? ...uh, y'all..!

I mean it's possible.

Does it actually say in the Bible that Jesus was the only ever sinless human being, and if so, please give me a quote. Also if she was sinless, maybe God didn't use her to die for the sins of all mankind because of the mere fact that she was a female, and so not naturally as strong as Jesus.

If you think about it, everyone is being condescended to.Jews, though they rarely would say it to your face since of the three they have learned that religion is more personal then anything, would say that Christians and Muslims are wrong.As are anyone who doesn't know their God as they know him.Muslims would say that Christians are wrong even though they may be closer to right then the Jews who are just totally wrong.But in case, Muslims must be right because all others are wrong.Christians would say that Jews are deceiving themselves and Muslims worship Satan.Even if they don't say that, they would still say that Jews and Muslims are wrong.
Even the most seemingly innocent of phrases is condescending.For instance, "Atheists are lost" or "You need to find the love of God" or "we are just trying to save you".
No matter what the belief or phrase, the simple truth is that a person automatically becomes self infused with a superiority complex that others are wrong and in turn condescend

I have one in my library. Whenever I use it to compare verses, it is always consistent with my other translations and versions. I don’t understand why I so often hear people criticizing it, saying that Jehovah’s Witnesses have their own Bible. It’s like any other Bible translation.

why aren't more people killing themselves to get there? Why continue staying on a troubled earth where there is suffering? Logically, wouldn't this make sense? BTW, suicide is not the unforgivable sin. Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit is the unforgivable sin, so the suicide=hell crowd can shut up.
