I mean honestly, we don't take greek mythology and others seriously because the stories and claims in those myths have so much incorrect information about this earth and the cosmos that it's obvious no greek had been inspired by any all knowing god or gods. But we all, and this includes theists read those myths as literal claims, thus deeming those stories astronomically incorrect on so many levels.
What baffles me now, is that we have a world with the majority of believers who believe in the same god, that being Jehovah/Yahweh, but just like those other theological stories we all call myths, the claims within christian/jewish/muslim scriptures about the nature of this world and cosmos are just as incorrect as those we call myths. So my question is, how can an apologist have no problem calling other theologies myths but when facing the same fallacies that are litterally described in their bible, they pass these errors off as metaphores, yet still somehow say an all knowing true god was communicating with these jews and justify it's existence, but wouldn't dream of giving greek or hindu mythology a chance on the grounds that, the claims were "mysterious" metaphores not to be taken literally but the gods still exist and created everything.
It is obvious to me that there was no more of a real god interacting with the jews , than there was with the greeks, hindus, ect... and just like the reason we call other old theologies "myths", that being the things that come out of the mouths of these people who claimed a spiritual entity had spoken to them when noone else was around, this same reason why I say this god that the jews wrote about is as much of a delusion as the rest...
Let's take this in some simple steps. First you have no proof in all those words, nor have you given any evidence that God does not exist. Second you seem to believe that God spoke to these men as you and I would speak to each other, I can tell you that is not the case with most of these writers. Third modern science has debunk most all religions, just not Christianity or the Jewish. Fourth some of the sciences you want to rely on as good science just are not and haven't been proven so, there exist great problems in them. Fifth Christians can say all the other religions are false the same as atheist using the same reasons, good science. Metaphors in the Bible are clear in understanding they are just that. The Bible is a literal book of truth, a book that shows the history of a chosen people and why the were chosen. Sixth and I'll stop here because I need you to explain to not just me but everyone here this little statement from the Bible. God told Abraham that his descendants would be as innumerable as the stars in the heaven. Now how is it that a man of that time could have written such a statement when there are only around 6000 stars visible to the naked eye in the darkest of night skies. Don't try and argue there are more visible stars than that, it is established fact and do not try and say that it's metaphorical because that is a literal statement from the scriptures, so tell me how the writer could have ever know that the stars are innumerable?

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
