It uses the same devices, borrows the same language, features mythological creatures such as sea dragons, gods who talk to people and intervene in warfare and daily life, and have children, I mean the list could go on. There's no difference between the Bible and other myths except that you're familiar with it and haven't looked at it with the same objective, critical eye you (hopefully) would when reading Homer, or Egyptian poetry, or Akkadian epics, etc... at least that wouldn't appear to be the case.

Prove what I believe is a myth, tell me you have proof, if you do not then shut up.

Not this time until they can supply me with proof I'm not responding.

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.
