I am too old to start checking out all of the myths that you cite. What would be the purpose? As for Aesop’s Fables - these I do enjoy.
Let us focus - perhaps it would be wise to start with the first five words - “in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.”
I would imagine you have some kinda sound, logical, & verifiable (to the extent possible) points that you subscribe to that mitigates against God being real & as revealed to us in the Bible.
Would you care to engage at the base level - is there a God?
If so, all I ask is one thing - keep it focused. Let us explore one point or issue to some manner of completion before moving on.
It would be nice to hear YOUR thoughts, & reasons.
I will look at post 553 later.
I always was frustrated by - I know you are but what am I?

More dishonest trolling. YOU whined about no myths, and here you are saying you're too old to learn.
Why even come here ? You said you wanted to learn in your 1st post.
The thing is Donny-boy, THIS THREAD has already begun, and is where it is, and YOU arrived when you did. LATE.
YOU are not going to derail it, and start where YOU decide.
If YOU want to start another thread for ignorant fundies, go right ahead.
Please get lost. You are a very rude troll.
The fact is, YOU have the burden of proof. YOU are claiming that the Bible is true.
You have to prove that and that your god(s) are true. It's YOUR problem. You can't start from the assumption that your combo of texts is true.
You do know (I hope) that the canon of scripture was non-unanimously VOTED on by humans, as to what would be in the Bible.
Lesson #1 in a debate : know your audience. We are non-believers. We don't operate with your misconceptions.
You have no evidence to provide for any of the gods. YOUR god (the one you *claim* exists) lets babies die from cancer and people get shot when they are in church worshipping him.
St. Paul said (Ephesians 2: 8-9) "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 not by works, so that no one can boast."
We were not given faith. Apparently you were, for no good reason, (according to Paul) given this faith thingy. Stop acting like a boastful fool.
And with that, you're going on ignore, Donny-boy.
Back to GRANDIZER's Genesis thread ... just ignore old trolls who rudely interrupt.
Now where were we ?
Every religion is true one way or another. It is true when understood metaphorically. But when it gets stuck in its own metaphors, interpreting them as facts, then you are in trouble. - Joseph Campbell
