But looking at our modern data today, there are certainly claims we can safely discard without the needless fear of missing something, like Apollo, or Thor or Poseidon. How is it you rightfully accept those claims as bunk, because if you think the people who invented those claims back then didn't truly believe it them, you are a fool.

The ancient Egyptians falsely believed for 3,000 years that Ra and Osiris and Isis and Horus were real deities, but even after all that success, it turned out those gods were not real.

Wait!

What??
Right, because whole lot of folks who call themselves christians don't really believe in Yahweh. Even some preachers aren't interested in anything past the offering bucket, so if they plan to argue that the ancients didn't really believe in their gods, they're just looking in the mirror.

But  when scientists have found what was previously attributed to god, Christians lack the sense to take heir feet out of their mouths. Case in point, you still argue that the earth is flat and believe in a book that says god created the grass and trees before he created the sun and moon.
Here I thought I was going to get a good response to my original post.

Maybe it's my own fault for putting in the snarky line: "Perhaps no atheists wanted to push back as doing so might highlight the lack of any known naturalistic mechanism for forming life from non-life????"

How would you have responded if I had left that out?

What if I left that out and was listed as an atheist?
No, it wasn't one little sentence. Your whole argument was beside the point.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.

I may defend your right to free speech, but i won't help you pass out flyers.

Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities.
