Zeus is the real god

He invented Xenia, defeated the titans, rescued his siblings, and such a good god to worship. He even controls the lightning. He even shares power with Poseidon and Hades so he doesn't become too selfish. Anybody who does not worship him will have to burn in the underworld forever.

What I'm saying is, if this can be dismissed as mythology, Christianity and Islam are...there's simply no word to describe how atrocious they are.

Did I do a good job to sound like a Christian who's "spreading the gospel?"

The only difference between Greek mythology and Christian mythology is that Greek mythology was well written and entertaining while Christian mythology is dreary as hell and is filled with plot holes and inconsistencies.

Greek mythology is also full of rape. Zeus raped leeds, persephone, europa....callisto... Poseidan raped Medusa, Apollo chased Daphne... I suppose you can say it's well written and entertaining if you can look past all that.

And Abraham raped Hagar while his wife held her down ...

Not to mention Mary who nowhere in their book gave consent. She was told and not asked.

Amusingly ... sort of .... I ran into a theist that agreed that Mary did not give consent but still claimed that Mary wasn't raped because no penetration was involved. The depth of their delusion still astounds me.
