And why do people refer to His holy books as 'Greek Mythology'? Haven't we rejected Him for too long??

While it is true that stories of Zeus' creation and existence differ to many degrees, it is only because of our limited human understanding that we cannot comprehend the higher purpose and truth of those stories. In Zeus, there is only perfection. By definition, there can be no contradiction.

I have a theory that Zeus did exist. In the Bible (I know, I know just hold on) in Genesis it talks about the Nephelim. Angels came down to earth and mated with human women etc. Sounds a lot like Greek 'mythology' to me. As anyone will tell you a myth is always based on a fact, that became a story as time went by, added to, etc,to become a myth.
Anyway, these human women gave birth to the Nephelim who had 'powers' etc.

People are like this to many long abandoned religions, Norse religion too. And when scholars rediscover the stories, they think they are just myths and so call them. Same thing with Native American Religion, they are taught in some school but referred to as myths as well.
I don't worship the Greek Gods, but I would hate it if somebody called my religion myths too. And how do we know Zeus isn't God or Allah? I have an inkling he is.

It's because they haven't let his son, Prometheus, into their hearts.
Prometheus came down to give us a gift. But by the will of Zeus he was nailed to a cliff wall and suffered for us, until he was resurrected to sit at the right hand of Zeus.

There is no accurate record of Zeus. Stories of his creation and existence differ to many degrees, as if affected by individual feelings concerning him.

Zeus behaved more like a spoiled tyrant than a god.
Maybe we just want our gods to behave more like a wise supreme being instead of a thinly veiled incarnation of ourselves.

Um, most of the Greek Gods kind of, uh, contradict themselves.

For the same reason that people dispute all divinities.

I worship the Greek Pantheon and bless you for this post. I'm too chicken **it to do it.
