Zeus apologetics

Zeus apologetics
I am creating this thread to demonstrate the fallacy of apologetic argument, so what we can do here is take common arguments that we see by apologists all the time that prove "god" and switch Yahweh with Zeus and demonstrate they still make the same amount of sense.

I'll start, Because if you study a well made banana you will see it has clearly been designed by almighty Zeus."
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

RE: Zeus apologetics
As much as I get the message, I am not so sure Zeus in terms of Greek mythology is the wanted deity for a "God" role:

http://ludios.org/greekgods/

I remembered that there were powers as great and greater than Zeus before him, in Kronos, Ouranus, and even the Hekatonkheires.

I think Odin would be an easier go-to than Zeus, in my opinion.

In the beginning, Zeus...

...and read on from there.

We could rewrite all of the biblical characters.

Jesus, starring himself as (of course) Zeus.

The holy spirit as (also Zeus, somehow)

The apostle Paul could be Isis.

I like the idea of Peter being a gargoyle morph.

Mary Magdalene could be a Vulcan prostitute.

Judas Iscariot would be Santa Claus.

I see Moses as a Spiderman™ kinda character.

This is fun!!!! Big Grin

I would be proud to be zeus, but I would kill myself out of sheer mortification were I to find myself Jesus.

I still say Odin has the best afterlife.....nightly parties with serving wenches in Valhalla.

Only if you die in battle. Otherwise you go to Norse hell, which is actually quite nice.

You can't prove that Zeus doesn't exist.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.
