Hey FrGamble!

Here is a list of polls by country which shows the percentage of people in those countries who are irreligious.

It doesn't specify if those people are "thinking adults" or not.

So, the problem here is you say Zeus doesn't exist because no thinking adults believe in him, and a growing number of people in the world don't believe in any god or religion. The logic here links belief and existence, such that a lack of belief implies a lack of existence. What percentage do we have to get to in order to disbelieve something out of existence?

Still, I think I've said before that whether or not people believe in something or not isn't a logical way to prove or disprove something. People didn't have to believe in things smaller than atoms for things smaller than atoms to exist.

I think you answered your question at the end of your post with the example of atoms that exist whether or not people believe so or not.

Now to the question of do number of people who believe something make it true or not. I think I have mentioned it many times before but this is a logical fallacy. However, if Zeus was real it stands to reason that were would be believers. The fact that there are not is some evidence that points strongly towards the fact that he does not exist. This is further brought out by the rest of the difficulties that a belief in Zeus must overcome.

Okay, there is no thinking adult that believes in Zeus and there is no reliable historical documentation or evidence that he has ever been seen or that he exists.

And they will answer to Hades for their disbelief in the next world.

L.O.L.!

Well, that's how stupid you sound when you talk about Jehovah and Jesus.

As stupid as using Jehovah and as comparing faith in Jesus to that of Zeus, lol.

Yes, exactly like thinking any of them are real.

There is just as much evidence for
Zeus as there is for Yahweh, and
that's none at all. They are both quaint
myths, it's just the myth of Yahweh
still has some use today with people
who have an agenda. That doesn't
make it any less a myth.

You guys are cracking me up with agenda and closed mindedness.

Do you have a favorite god that you would like to attribute with the creation of the universe?

Yes the God that created the cosmos. None of the other gods did. It's very simple and doesn't need to be ground down and gone over and over ad infinitum. All those other gods are nothing in the greater scheme of things. The only purpose they serve is to confuse gullible people.
