If Atheists are in rebellion against Jesus because we don't believe, are Christians in rebellion against Zeus

Question

Christians don't believe Zeus is real. Are they in rebellion against Zeus?

How about the teapot in Earth orbit, are you in rebellion against the teapot in Earth orbit because you don't believe it?

Answer 1

WE Christians are against anything that is not of the True and living God of the Bible. But we arent in rebellion about anything. We act in obedience to the Lord, as He calls us to do. IF something is not of Him, it is false, we are to not accept it, leave it alone and speak truth about it, as we live our lives for the Lord.
Oh how silly. We arent in rebellion against teapots either. Tea is a natural substance of the Lord. But the false teachings that go with this are not of God, like believing a certain tea has power to transform you, or that a teapot is in orbit. No we dont believe it, but you can sure believe in all that if you want to. Its all about Choice. But for a true Christian, our only source of knowledge is God, and His Holy Word. Dont read about teapots in orbit there or this Zeus person.
God says only the God that has the teachings of Jesus Christ is God, the rest are false, and there you go.
I pray you will know Jesus before it is too late, which is before you die or He comes again to take us home.
He is eager to forgive, and only wants to love you and save you. Choose soon and Choose wisely.

Answer 2

Is anyone really in "rebellion" against anything? I believe jesus is a real holy being, but I have nothing against Zeus or his teapot orbiting the Earth. Why are different religions fighting all the time anyway? We'll all find out who's right when we die anyway. Besides the Bible never claims other Gods don't exist, it merely says that God is far superior to any others that may exist. For example, in the book Exodus God never claimed that the egyption gods didn't exist, merely that they were not worthy of worship because they might as well not exist when compaired with his power. Plus, he's the one that created us so he deserves the credit.

Answer 3

We are in rebellion against the Empire of the Sith like the pope and the little spawn cults off the original Christianity. "Or is this claim meant to imply that atheists don't believe in the specific god that the claimer believes in because we are in rebellion, but in thousands of other gods because there is no evidence whatsoever that they exist?" Everyone is an atheist, the Anansi-ists just think there is one less god than the other people

Answer 4

No.

Jesus was a real historical person in whom the Godhead dwelled. Zeus, on the other hand, was only a member of the mythological pantheon of ancient Greece. Greek mythology never even attempted to represent him as having once been an incarnate earth-dweller, but rather something more like the "bearded sky god" straw man that atheists love propping up. (Yes I know Mount Olympus is a real place, but its summit was for all intents and purposes in the sky for ancient Greeks.)

Where Jesus actually possessed personal attributes of selflessness and dedication to others that read on the page as the kind of thing you'd associate with a God made flesh, Zeus was petty, vindictive, and a squabbler with other deities - all too human.

Answer 5

Look at that, they're already in denial. There's no reason why their god is any more real than Zeus but they're too closed minded to see it.

And yes, the Christians must be rebelling against Zeus because they don't believe in him.

Answer 6

"No because zeus isn't real. He never was nor will be. Period. Jesus is period. "

See, things like this are why I can't stand my fellow christians. You call that an argument? Did you even think before you posted?

Answer 7

If you don't believe in Jesus, how can you be in rebellion against him? Makes no sense.

Answer 8

Hmmm, I can't remember...is Zeus called the same thing in both Greek & Roman mythology? Can they rebel against both at the same time?

Answer 9

Think of it this way: Christianity is simply the latest mythology. Like any mythological system of beliefs, it has had to incorporate teachings from the various earlier mythologies it replaced as the current religious thinking of its day. Catholicism, as the original Christian church, the one allegedly created by Jesus himself, liberally incorporated elements of almost every pagan system of belief it killed in its quest for world dominance. It even took the extreme measure of posthumously deifying the very modest carpenter/rabbi named Jesus, who never once in his life claimed to be the son of God. That would have been like Gandhi claiming to be the return of the Messiah. Truly enlightened human beings like Jesus and Gandhi are acutely aware of their human frailties. In fact, they teach us to understand our own shortcomings by pointing out theirs, making examples of themselves so that we can see that the frailties, the shortcomings, are unimportant; how we respond to them is the point. Men like this would never have the hubris to claim divinity. That work falls to cultists like GW Bush, Jerry Falwell, Pat Robertson, Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses, John Travolta, Tom Cruise, Scientologists and two millenia of Popes and clergy. So, I wouldn't say that Atheists are "against" Jesus; they simply understand him better than his followers do. In that sense, Jesus and Zeus occupy exactly the same place from the atheist perspective. As for so-called Christians, their battle with Zeus ended in triumph almost two millennia ago; he only appears in their world as a storybook character, much like the fictional Jesus Christ will in storybooks of the future. To disbelieve something is not necessarily to take up rebellion against it; the two are separate states of being and separate acts of consciousness.

Answer 10

Thank you! I'm so disgusted by all this anti-Zeus, anti-teapot apostacy! America is a Zeusian, teapotian nation!
