why do people believe some European imitation of Zeus the king of gods of Greece from thousands of years ago is real?
(LOSERS there is no heaven)

Maybe if you worded this a bit better, you'd get some reasonable responses..... such as:
"If you are an atheist, would you describe how you came to that conclusion?"
"IF you are an atheist, have you also eliminated belief in Zeus, and Apollo, as well as Athena?"
"Why is the god of the Abraham, (Yehweh of the Old Testament and Jesus), better than Zeus or Apollo? Aren't they all the same? And isn't supernaturalism of any sort just the same as any other????"
"Our democracy in the United States was founded upon separation of church and state. (Read things by Thomas Jefferson, and John Adams.) How do you feel about Christian ideas of morality in our government?"
or a hundred other great ones..........
Stating that if someone believes in heaven, that they are looser, is just insulting. Certainly super-naturalists tend to be less educated, less intelligent, and unwilling to care for themselves, preferring to "leave it to God." "It is now in God's hands...." But you defeat your purpose by being insulting.

I am an Atheist.
But the God of the OT was a continuation of the Sumerian gods EL and YAW and predates Zeus.
But there are some similarities in temperament.

People believe what they chose to believe.
I'm an atheist to all gods but my own.

While I'm atheist, I'm certainly not going to resort to name-calling... nothing good about that at all.

I am. They believe it because it makes them feel good about themselves. Self rightousness is a powerful drug
