why do you choose jesus over Zeus or Ra or Odin?
if you're honest there really isn't that much difference. apples and oranges.
maybe you could take turns in which god to worship, just so none of them feel left out.
thx

There is a major difference. We believe in one God, not many, we do not put other gods before our God. It's our first commandment. Maybe you should know what we believe before making ignorant comments.

Zeus, Ra and Odin are all older Are they why some christians deny the world is older than six thousand years.
Just watch out for lightning bolts , from above.

There is a difference - Jesus is a real historical figure, and there's more evidence that he's really God than there is for Zeus, Ra or Odin. The evidence and reasonableness has convinced me Jesus was who he said he was.

Who knows? I'd happily worship a god before jesus, only because they were there first. Who knows, maybe in 1000 years there will be another religion discovered who'll ***** and moan about no one can worship a god before them! Then Jesus will be out of business.

Because those gods got their butts handed to them by monotheism. History would prove me right when I say, Christianity spread across the world with a Bible in one hand and a sword in another. It was either real solemn conversions or ones done with swords to the backs of those involved.

Because I don't believe in Zeus or Ra or Odin. I believe in only one and that's the big guy up there. :) God.

There is only one God. It has nothing to do with whether your being honest or not. There is a pretty big difference in the names you have mentioned.

Those were all false gods that came before Christ, that tried to trick everyone into worshipping them. Just like if you read the book of revelations, you'll find that there will be a false christ before our holy savior Jesus Christ almighty makes his return.

Probably the same reason most religious people follow their faith and not any other...because they didn't /choose/ anything! The overwhelming majority "inherited" their faith.

I rather a God that HAS shown himself, and his work.
Myths remain myths, as with other gods.
