Good evening Vulcanlogician,
Thank you for sharing that story with me. I was wondering, do you still go to church at all? If so how does that go for you? What do you get out of it? Is your sister still Catholic?
No. I don't go to church anymore. It's cool if going to church benefits others. But it is of little benefit to me.
My sister is like a "casual Catholic" now. Not really sure how to put it. She's not like she was.

But I'm interested in what you said about Zeus being a fallen angel. It seems like that is some kind of cobbled-together ad hoc belief.
Are you saying that you have good reason to believe that the ancient Greeks' contact with Zeus was a real event, and that you in fact know that Zeus was actually a fallen angel?
How is that belief founded on any real observation or evidence? It seems like that belief fits well into your own religious schema, so you adopted it without giving it any thought at all.
Think about it. Do you REALLY have good reason to believe that Zeus was real at all? (Let alone a fallen angel.) How anyone could "know" such a thing is beyond me. It might be fruitful for you to scrutinize that particular belief. After all, we ought to try our best to only espouse true beliefs. That means inconvenient ones too.
