Would anyone be offended if I said I didn't believe Zeus existed?

Question

I don't. He is a man-made creation written by an ancient people to help them explain such concepts as "where to we come from? why are we here? what happens when we die? why does bad sh*t happen for no reason?"

Does anyone find that offensive?

Answer 1

Zeus, maybe.

(You have lightning insurance?)

Answer 2

I would have to disagree with you. There are volumes of evidence to verify the existence of Zeus. In fact there is probably more evidence to support Zeus than there is to support Yahweh. I'm not sure if there is more to support Krishna though.

Oh well.

Plus if you count lightning as evidence of Zeus' fury then there is more evidence for Zeus than any other God. Zeus obviously reigns on other planets in our solar system.

Answer 3

Zeus, Greek Mythology, Jesus, Pagan Origin, Hesus(Latin), Another misnomer, Buddha, Indian Folklore,

Most of what has been spread out in this world has happened through tales and a process called transliteration. This is where a word or letter taken from one language is directly dissected into another language. Often the resulting language doesn't have a character that the originating language has. So a character that comes close takes the place.

We all come from Judaic roots. Our heritage still remains like (for example: if we come from France, Italy, China, etc) we do have that with us. The Jews who traversed the bibical stories from Egypt to the desert to their lands and beyond were all lead by and taken word and instruction from our creator, Yhwh. Ancient texts have this documented.

We are here to reintroduce to all of his creation His great name. By which means, can be obtained by seeking Him in prayer, meditation, service of others, sexually abiding in purity, diminished or elimination of hate, angry words, wrongful doing, and specifically by abiding in compassion, forgiveness and making your full days a constant worship to His promise and glory.

What happens when we die is that we arise from all that we do and all that has happened to us into a new form. If we continually reject Him, we will be brought down into a lesser form. If we accept Him and the sacrafice His son, Yashua made for us and exist as a glory to Him and Yashua through the means of the Holy Spirit, we will be brought into a higher form.

Bad things happen to those who puts his faith in Him happen to bring us to a new level in faith. If we seek Him with all our heart and soul, we will have new understanding and new compassion. The bible is indicative of many quotes regarding this. I don't have them off hand, but if you seek someone who knows the Bible inside and out, they can point you to them.

Yhwh bless you,

Answer 4

Can you prove that Zeus doesn't exist? See? Then he must be real!!

Have you ever looked outside? The beauty of the trees, babies, the sun, the stars, all proof that Zeus exists.

You prefer to live in darkness? Let Zeus in your heart.

Even Kierkegaard and Nietzsche were Zeusists on their deathbed!

etc, etc, etc, i can do this for hours...

Answer 5

Is Zeus the one that plays on that new Soap Opera, where he's really a woman trying to be a man; sleeping with his son's step mom's, brother's, cousin's, nephew's, twin ugly sister?

Answer 6

Only people who worship Zeus will be offended so your question should first ask if anyone worships Zeus.

Answer 7

You should purchase a lightning rod, my friend. Zeus doesn't take kindly to words like that.

Answer 8

i would find it odd if you said you did believe in zeus and hercules and all the rest of those characters of the greek Mythology

Answer 9

First his name is Zeus (greek)! Not Zues.

Answer 10

Yes, jerk! Zues loves you and wants to share his gift of thunder with you. Do not mock Zues!
