William Tell

There is no relation whatever between the legend of William Tell, a simple local legend, (the story of Jesus is not even a popular legend; it is theological fiction) and the hundreds of Flood Myths from all over the world.

Believers were told that God exists and non believers that the myths are fairy tales. Both believers and non believers believe what they were told!

Why is it that I find no difference between the two?

Simple answer: they are both ignoramuses when it comes to myth and history of religion!
