I have a question for you, and it is quite simple in nature. I assume a large portion of those who visit this site (that's you!) are members of either Christianity or some other monotheisitc Abrahamic religion. If you are, I address this question to you. Why do you believe in the monotheistic Abrahamic god (Yahweh) and not the Greek pantheon of gods(Zeus, Apollo, Aphrodite, Hades, etc...)? I am not trying to offend in any way, shape or form. I am simply curious as to what reasoning the majority of you have.

Sincerely,

A Curious Skeptic

"I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours." (Stephen Henry Roberts)
