... that Zeus is actually the one true god, and that you have been mistaken? What sort of proof or reasoning would you require?
I don't mean this as an insult. I just want you to consider it. Because whatever your demands are, I'm sure they're very close to what we atheists would demand of you, and your god.
Think it over. Consider this when you attempt to discuss your religion with us...

Servant - Zeus performed plenty of miracles and fulfilled plenty of prophecies. He was worshipped and revered for doing so until the Romans stamped out his believers. ?? What else?
2006-12-14 07:27:46 · update #3
Have Zeus take on the form of a human, get himself publicly executed, and raise himself from the dead in front of over 500 witnesses to prove that he was alive again, and that it was not just a rumor.
And, oh yea, replace an entire religious system that was extremely popular in its time and cause it to become extinct (like Jesus did to Zeus worship) to show that it has a greater power of conviction.

Actually, Christians, at least Catholics, DO believe in Zeus. In a manner of speaking. The Latin word for God used in all Catholic liturgy ("In Excelsis Deo") is nothing but a direct construct of the Greek word for God, which is Zeus. When the Pope talks about God, he is using the same word that the high priests of Sparta used. The only difference is that the Pope's version, rather than living on top of Mount Olympus, he lives "above the circle of the world", and instead of seducing mortal women by assuming the shape of a bull or a golden shower, he prefers to seduce young Jewish virgins while disguised as an "angel".

Hey why dont u believe in GOD, Answer these if you can :)
1) You are lost in a forest, there you see a house in the middle of the forest. you are certain that this house has been built by someone. you may not know who he is but you are dead sure that the house has a owner. WHY?
2)You dont see Infra-Red radiations, yet you believe its existence. you dont see the waves that are meitted while we talk, yet you can feel it. you have not seen a single galaxy yet you believe the presence of millions of galaxies. WHY?
3) You were not present when an Apple fell over Newton. And he discovered Gravity. yet you believe Newton discovered 'Gravity'. have you seen it? Yet you believe in the phenomenon called 'Gravity'.
4) Nobody knows where is the exact location of 'Mind' and the 'Soul' in the human body, yet millions accept its prescence.
If you can affirm all these without seeing them, Can not the whole of the universe be built by ALmighty GOD???
The house in the forest has to have an owner, The Gigantic universe running in precise equilibrium, without an Owner?
GOD exists and HE is only ONE.
HE Created each and everything. There was never an evolution for any living creature. Instead it was meticulous creation.
Did the PC evolve from the TV?
Did the Car evolve from the motorbike?
Did the Aeroplane evolve from the Helicopter?
Did the Petronas tower evolve from a hut?
When this cant happen, How can living beings which are much more complex evolve from one another.
There was much engineering, design, planning involved when the first PC was made. But then to change it from Pentium I to Pentium IV was not evolution, it was infact re-engineering, reducing scan times, re-design at the structural level which resulted in the Pentium IV chip being manufactured or lets say 'Created'
the most complex of all machines in this world, viz. the human body evolved from apes???
Dont you see the miracle of creation???

Zeus would have to come to earth do a bunch of miracles, fulfill some 50 prophesies, save the world from itself and show proof of who he is
oh wait that's been done - thanks Jesus
I've read atheism takes the most blind faith over any religion - I cant keep up with that

All those Christians are silly. Only the ones who know it is wrong could possibly be the correct ones.

zeus isn't supported by the bible which contains thousands of prophecies> read the bible and we'll discuss>\
our time scale isn't based on zeus, but Jesus Christ
zeus didn't influence charities and organizations like christianity
people aren't killed for zeus, but for christ in muslim and communist countries
conclusion: the world hates christianity, becuase they know it is the truth>
