because I can see "Jupiter" through a telescope whereas I can't find the "god of Abraham" through one. ;P

Zeus was a little bit bi too.
He might pork Jehovah.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

And also planet Jupiter is named for the chief of the gods and it turns out to be more massive than all the other planets put together!
Or planet Saturn: back in the 1610s, Galileo was looking at the sky with his primitive telescope, he turned it on Saturn and found that there was something odd about it. He seemed to see two small bodies, one on either side of Saturn, but couldn’t make out what they were. Whenever he returned to Saturn, it was harder to see them until, finally, he saw only the single sphere of Saturn and nothing else. He thought “Does Saturn still swallow his children?” and he never looked at the planet again.
Or once theorized planet Vulcan that turned out to be non-existent, remember: Vulcan is the equivalent of the Greek Hephaistos, and the most famous myth involving Hephaistos goes as follows: Hephaistos, the son of Zeus and Hera, at one time took Hera’s side when Zeus was punishing her for rebellion. Zeus, furious at Hephaistos’s interference heaved him out of heaven. Hephaistos fell to Earth and broke both his legs. Though he was immortal and could not die, the laming was permanent. Isn’t it strange, then, that the planet Vulcan (Hephaistos) was also hurled from the sky?
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
