Really. People still practice greek religion, and really all the religions were once at the top of their game. Why when a religion slows down a bit does it mean that it isnt true and us just myth? Christians read and believe in some old book. I would call that mythology any day.

You can call your belly-button Prince Charles if you like - that won't make it so.

The Greek system of religion was based in mythology. Read a book.
There is secular evidence for the accuracy of the Bible.
Whether you would call something mythology or not is really not saying much because based on your question, you don't know what mythology is.

Christianity is not based on a book for it existed for 400 years without a book. the Christian religion is based on Jesus Christ and His teaching, some of which is written, who died crucified and arose from the dead as the Scriptures prophesied. He is a historical figure as is the Church He built with Himself as the cornerstone and the disciples as the 12 foundation stones. This same Church has lasted for two thousand years, just as He predicted, while attacked by heresy from without and within yet remains the bulwark and ground of the truth that the gates of hell will never prevail against. This is not mythology but historical fact.
In Christ

I agree with the other guy... it is a question of faith. In addition, you have to think about the time and place we're living in. The majority of ppl in our society consider themselves christian. The ancient Greeks didn't call it 'mythology' when they were practicing it.

I would also disagree. Christianity shows no signs of slowing down. Many people, from Nero to Herod the Great, have tried to quash Christianity, but have never succeeded. And you shouldn't call anything true mythology.

even if it is not mythology, it is the belief in one book and only one book. That guarantees bias towards any other intelligence, not to mention the contradictions are a heart attack of rationality that must be forced into comprehension.

One man's mythology is another man's religion. The reverse is also true.

That's about same as Ann Coulter equating liberism to religion.

The things is, keep it private and do not share unless someone comes asking. Reinstate Initiation to all branches to dissolve public manipulation.

Yes, and we could also coin the term-Evolution Mythology!
Guess what? In 100 years, people will laugh at the very idea that so many fell for the ludicrous concept of "evolution".
