Any Ex-Hindus Other Than Me?

Example- they have a flood story in which Vishnu becomes a fish and guides the last living man to safety.
It is almost entirely regarded as mythology. But if it is mythology, does that mean vishnu never became a fish? So one out of 10 avatars never happened? Buddha is also an avatar of Vishnu, yet he says there is no god. There goes one more. So if only 10 out of 10 avatars never happened how can Vishnu exist?
Also other things- Ganesh rides a mouse? Hanuman (monkey god) flew to the sun?

Hmmm Out of the frying pan into the fire I'd say:

Did God create the universe in six days or that metaphorical?

Is the sky a dome holding back water and supported by four pillars?

Did snakes have legs until they talked Eve into eating the forbidden fruit?

Did Johna live inside a whale?

Did the sun stop in the sky just so the Hebrews could win a battle?

Is the Biblical account of the promised land historical.

Faith or works?
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god.  If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
