Is it because you believe in the true one God that existed before Jesus? Is it a case of mistaken identity. People thought he walked on water and they shouted: "Hey, Zeus?"
It is a scientific fact that we have Achilles tendons. Achilles is the son of a sea nymph. We have all descended from him. Troy existed.
Ergo. Zeus exists.

Yes; Zeus exists. Not in question.
However, the point of contention is that Jesus was Hebrew. The name "Jesus" is simply the Anglicized version of his name.
If you were alive back in his day, you would never have heard the name Jesus.

It's a linguistic coincidence. Last month I posted a question about a Korean or Chinese word that sounds like our N-word. There's a Spanish-English joke about socks in which the punchline, or the line before the punchline, is "Eso si que es!" (which sounds like S-O-C-K-S!).
There's a line in the Bible about children of the "sons of God" (angels) and the "daughters of men" (human women). Several translations call these children "famous men, heroes of old". When I read this, I think about the Greek myths, particularly stories about the children of Zeus and human women. Maybe there is a grain of truth to those stories!

I think the Greeks had it much better than the Christians.
Jupiter - Zeus . Jupiter has a crazy atmosphere that contains storms larger than Earth that have been raging as long as we've been observing it. Which includes non-stop lightning, and on Jupiter, lightning is 4x as fast. There's more basis in reality in Greek Mythology than Christianity.
-------
Additionally, the gravity of Jupiter is so strong it changes the trajectory of comets, meteors, and anything within its range.
It could potentially be the start of life on Earth as it causes meteors to travel to Earth and deposit foreign substances.

No. Paul and Barnabus were creating miracles in Delphi and the Geeks thought they were the gods Zeus and Mercury come to save their degenerate life. But (as you well know) Paul objected and so the Geeks simply changed their minds and decided to 'stone' them.
So, the bored Geeks didn't get what they wanted, so they decided to kill the messenger. It happens all the time, don't you think?

Hmmm. That's funny. But just pronunciation. Medical terms descend from Latin. It stands to reason that certain things get passed down. You're logic is amusing.

J is pronounced like H in spanish, and the U is pronounced differently
Zeus isn't one god, he's just the head god at Olympus.

Interesting (for lack of a better non-violation word) theory....
Actually, in Aramaic, I think his name is pronounced "ye shu ah". I could be wrong, but don't think it important enough to look up at the moment.
