Running out of room / time on the "Don't fear the atheist thread" so I figured I'd split off some of the debate to a new topic.
All Fundamental Christians are Atheists in regards to Zeus, Apollo, Thor, Vishnu, Coyote, the Hero Twins, and many many more Gods.
What gives?
Surely, the people who were worshipping these Gods believed in them as much if not more than the typical Fundamentalist believes in their God.
And, just as likely, they looked down upon the previous Gods. "Oh, yeah, people used to worship Iknock, but that was before we realized that Zeus is the one true God."
So, what's the deal, Fundies? I've heard over and over how you can discard a mountain of evidence in favor or your particular flavor of magic, but how can you also discard a mountain of magic in favor of magic.
What reason do you have to believe that people with as much, if not more, spiritual evidence in the existence of their Gods are some how wrong?
