How was the Old Testament God any different than the Greek gods?
How is the new Testament God any different than the Greek gods? I think the real question is why are the two the same?
How is the Genesis creation story(ies) any different than the Greek creation stories?
How is the Bible any different than the Iliad? I had to read the Iliad in high school. It reminded me of the Bible. Homer may have written the Bible from all I could tell.
I'm a former Lutheran. I tried to hang onto my belief, but I was more preoccupied with the unexplained contradictions in religious thought. I was brainwashed as a child, and it took me over 50 years to realize I was an atheist. I called myself a Christian, but I never found God. "You didn't try hard enough," is the old saw that theists like to fling at the agnostic. I tried to find a way to believe harder than my Christian friends. I could imagine a God well enough, but when I got off my ass long enough to think, rather than imagine, no God was there.
If I was born in Saudi Arabia or India or China, would I be Christian? I think the obvious answer is no. I’d be Muslim, Hindu, or Buddhist respectively. So how do I support my beliefs in Christianity? Does it have a case (objectively) to be any more true than any other religion (e.g. Hinduism or Pantheism)? I no longer think so.
Well the occasional theist switches gods, but only because it's easier to imagine a god that more closely suits their fancy.
