it baffles me that people discredit ancient greek stories of mount olympus as myth and then take something like genesis as fact. the bible is as much fairy tale as is the tales of the roman gods and godesses or the lord of the rings stuff. there its out there.

thank zeus i live in a country that allows me free thought.
exactly, Christianity / Judaism / Islam comes 100% from written history and traditions. Ancient Greek religions and myths are based on 100% written / oral history, yet they are viewed as fairy tales & myths only.

Although, I do hear from many non-westerners that the main religions do sound like fairy tales.
