Jesus will still like you however he does say in the ten commandment, not to have any other gods before him.

When Jesus' Apostles went to Athens. They saw many people worshiping Greek Gods like Zeus, and other Gods, and the Apostles wanted to teach the Greeks that their is only one God, but the Jews got to them first, and St Paul (one of the Jesus' Apostles) was stoned for preaching about the word of Jesus; and he was dragged out of the city by horse into the wilderness, but St Paul got up brushed him self off; and head back into the city to preach some more.
So if you believe that because we do not believe in Zeus, and that we are stupid, because of it, then you are calling Jesus stupid, and his Apostles stupid as well, because they know that Zeus is a false God.
So if since you called Jesus stupid wouldn't you be upset with some one also if some one called you stupid also?

"Will Jesus like me if i love Zeus more?" -- Yes. As long as you understand that Zeus wants you to live the same as Jesus lived.
Respectfully, and within the rules they both set.
Jesus being human, will totally understand you - don't worry.
Start by: Stop calling people dumb that you don't know. (and if you know them - care about them - you still won't call them dumb.) We are all special - which makes us dumb to some, smart to others.

Jesus will be & is sad that you reject him, but he give you that freedom. He said in the Bible that we are to place him/love him more than anything or one else. The quetion is not about stupidity or inteligence. Jesus wants a relationship with you. If you chose someone or something else, He cares but allows you to turn away from Him. I hope that you seek Him out, not for just doing great things or being cool, but because of who you are & who God is.

I don't mean to talk down to you, but Zeus is a mythological god and does not exist. Jesus Christ rose from the dead and loves you. With all due respect, loving something that doesn't exist isn't wise. I understand your interest in the "gods" that ancient Greece worshipped....they were a fascinating bunch....but there is a real God who can give you real love back.

Just a friendly piece of advice.

Jesus wants you to have fellowship with himself, not some make-believe figment of man's imagination named Zeus.

I would sincerely recommend that you read the New Testament front to back before you do anything else.

By the way - did Zeus promise you salvation, eternal life, or anything else??

Zeus Huh?? Well Kid, What ever makes you happy. Zeus was a mighty God, But if you love Zeus so much, you should study Thor and Odin (they were also mighty Gods). Believe what you want...Let Jesus be upset, Though i doubt he will. He still Loves you.

Jesus, for me, would surely be mad at you. Because he, Jesus, is a historical figure. While Zeus is only a mythological figure.

But Jesus is open for reconciliation and continues his love for all of us. He wants us to be converted.

Zeus is Jesus. They are all mythological figures. Christianity was formed from the pagan religions and adopted a lot of pagan ideas, beliefs and figures.
