Quote:So, let's use Zeus for example. I simply believe that Zeus is just one of the Fallen Angels masquerading itself as a god. All the regional gods of the earth are simply that. They are the fallen ones. So, yes I believe in Zeus and Krishna and Ra, etc. They are placing themselves as gods on this earth to be worshipped by humans. I truly believe them to be real entities that roam this planet since they were cast out of heaven.

Then you don't believe in Zeus.  You're just playing semantic games.  Saying you believe X only if we're willing to accept you redefining X as something it's not  is equivocation.

No, not at all. I believe Zeus is a fallen angel. He doesn't have to be Satan perse I only used that name for example. And just for everybody to understand I am only telling you what I believe to be true. I am very much expecting you all to ridicule me and the like, but this is not up for debate nor argument. This is what I believe and that's that. If you want to twist and turn what I say into what makes you feel comfortable to continue the ridicule I am totally cool with that. Go ahead and tell me what I believe, but that is not going to get you any closer to really trying to understand me or my beliefs. Yet, I suspect you all really don't care what I believe and that's fine with me too.

I'm not ridiculing you. I'm pointing out that what you're saying is wrong. It would be akin to my saying that I believe in Jesus Christ, but by Jesus Christ I mean a moldy piece of cheese in the back of my fridge. It's using a word that refers to something in two different senses simultaneously, implying the meaning of Zeus as a god in order to communicate that you believe in a god, but in reality meaning something that is not a god. Zeus is a god. If what you're referring to isn't a god, then that's not Zeus. You're just trying to trick and deceive people by using misleading and fallacious words. Or do you accept that Jesus Christ refers to a piece of moldy cheese? What you're doing is equivocating on the meaning of the term Zeus, which is a fallacy, and makes what you say invalid.
