I mean Greek mythology, for those CHristians who do, why do you bother, you don't believe?
This is simply a question to start those who ask me why I consider myself in Christian affairs and am Atheist. I have the right to and the interest to.

You are right, I'm young... But you have failed to answer my question and diverted it with the preaching from one feinting wisdom. If this doesw not concern you, then do not answer.

Yes, my question does make the assumption of all Christians concerning themselves to mythology. This question was actually in reaction of a few Christians asking why I as an Atheist concern myself with Christianity. So it should state to some Christians, I am sorry if I have offended the others.

Hello valkyrie hero.. :)
I used to be an Atheist..so I know where you are coming from..Christians used to always ask me why do I ask about God, if I did not believe in a God..
I would just swear at them and say: I am just looking for new ways to put down your faith..I am not saying that anyone feels this way..it was the way I was feeling at the time..
But now that I am a believer in Christ Jesus, I know why the Christians say that they Love the sinner and hate sin..because they truly do with all of their hearts.. :)
In Jesus Most Precious Name..
With Love..In Christ.. :)

Apolonio: God is not a figment of an imagination. God is a Being and Santa Clause is a figment of imagination. I believe you can tell the difference when it is a figment of imagination or not.
Jackie: God is a myth, period.
Apolonio: Any proof?
Jackie: Sure. If you look at history, there are a lot of made up things, such as Greek Mythology.
Apolonio: Greek mythology isn’t all myths.
Jackie: So there is a Zeus?
Apolonio: No. One of the true things of mythology is morality. The Greeks knew that there were supernatural beings. They had common sense to believe in that.
Jackie: But they are not on par with Christianity?
Apolonio: Of course not. But that doesn’t make them all false. They made mistakes such as belief in many gods, but that just proves that they knew there is such a thing as a supernatural thing. And to get back to the Santa Clause, it isn’t all false either. Santa Clause is an invention of the mind that says he gives goodness and happiness to people. Having the thought of giving goodness and happiness to people means there is such a thing that brings us goodness and happiness. Of course, that Being is God. However, the person Santa Clause is false.
Jackie: So you pick and choose what is true and what is not?
Apolonio: No I do not. We know that Santa Clause is made up and we know that Greek mythology is made up. Common sense tells us that.
Jackie: Common sense told the Greeks of polytheism.
Apolonio: It doesn’t make them right. But they did have the common sense of a supernatural thing. And we are getting into a specific religion. We can argue which is the true religion after we have proven that God exists.

this says "To all Christians" but it can't be to me. I'm a Christian, but I never said you couldn't concern yourself in Christian affairs. I hate Greek mythology by the way.

We are all given knowledge as well as the freedom of choice. People are naturally curious, but I question that you have personal knowledge that ALL Christians concern themselves with any single topic.

you're right, I take interest in Greek mythology, but I put the emphasis on myth. I wish you could realize that the Bible is truth, not myth.

Yeah!! I'm behind you 100% on this one. Mythology IS my religion. Christians can stay the hell out of it!

I like a good story, just like anyone else.
I also enjoy when you atheists ask questions about my faith. You help me to keep it strong, thanks!
