Which is exactly what we've done, in effect. Parse the claims, study the subject very closely. Pretty much the process of removing lightning from the hand of Zues. If we can't, then we have something to talk about.
Let's posit that the myths are just that, myths. But that only shows that the myths are not literally true. It in no way negates the idea of God. It only negates the myths. In that regard, I'm in accord, but that's hardly the whole picture.
