I'm really into Greek Mythology and I absolutely love the characters of Apollo, Eros (aka Cupid), Hades, and many MANY more. I think they're amazing characters and I love how greek deities had unabashed evil and merciful sides that were representative of "that's just nature." Ares brought war, death, and destruction BUT he also brought peace, courage, and patriotism etc.. If they were real divine creatures than I'd love to be a theist lol

I agree. A lot of the stories actually have higher moral values than Hebrew mythology. Apollo would have almost been like the Hebrew Jesus, except Apollo was a real God.

Apollo was born of a union of Zeus and Leto, (a God and a Goddess). So Apollo was a full-fledged God himself.

Jesus was clearly a demigod having been the result of a union between the God of Abraham and a mortal woman named Mary.

There were a lot of Gods and Goddesses in Greek mythology which actually makes far more sense than the lonely frustrated jealous male God of the Hebrews.

Christians often argue that Jesus was the "Son" of the God of Abraham long before he was born through Mary as a physical man. They claim that Jesus was with God from the very beginning of time.

But then that begs the question of how Jesus could have possible be the "Son" of the God of Abraham if there was not female Goddess counter part.

The God of Abraham would have had to screw himself, get pregnant, and have his own baby Jesus. Then poor Jesus had to go through that whole ordeal again then he was born of Mary.

It's a convoluted tale to be sure.

Greek mythology actually often makes more sense than the Hebrew mythology.

Christian - A moron who believes that an all-benevolent God can simultaneously be a hateful jealous male-chauvinistic pig.
Wiccan - The epitome of cerebral evolution having mastered the magical powers of the universe and is in eternal harmony with the mind of God.
Atheist - An ill-defined term that means something different to everyone who uses it.

Luke 23:34 Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.
Clearly Jesus (a fictitious character or otherwise) will forgive people if they merely know not what they do
For the Bible Tells us so!
