All Fundamental Christians are Atheists in regards to Zeus, Apollo, Thor, Vishnu, Coyote, the Hero Twins, and many many more Gods.
What gives?
I'm a christian although not a fundamentalist. I don't consider myself an atheist WRT all those other gods because I accept that "a god" exists. I just think that they were wrong or misinformed or ignorant about who god is. So I don't consider myself an atheist about those gods.
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.
Because, when considering what we do know is true, their interpretation of god is incorrect. But they were correct that the "flavor of magic" does, in fact, exist
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?
I believe Jesus. I think that he was right(correct), and they were ignorant or misinformed or lacking information.

Re: Whats The Deal?
I am saying that the belief in God is a belief in magic
I have a high quality scientific education and I cannot disbelieve "magic", especially magic that is attributed to GOD.
All phenomenon can have natural explanations, but those do not preclude GOD.

Don't most fundies claim they have considered other religions and picked the right/best one?
I dunno, I'm not a fundie, but I do claim that.
And I don't think that it is coincedence that the one I picked is the same as the one I was raised to believe.

Re: Whats The Deal?
Do you mean that it is only an opinion that any superstition is made up, or just the one you subscribe to?
When the opinion is on something like a god, there isn't really anything that is evident that the god is not "made up".

Re: a few things to consider
, I'm not asking for everyone's personal opinion on the subject, I'm challenging Fundies to explain their ongoing hypocracy
Shit. I'm off topic.

People who believe in Zeus are wrong because they think that God's name is actually Zeus, but it's not, it's God.
There's more to it than that, but still, I'm not an athiest even WRT Zeus.
