10 Reasons Why the Myths Are Not Factual

This will just be a quick list of reasons why


  1. the majority of them were written by poets not clergymen
  2. they portray the Gods in a light that I find to be contrary to Their true nature
  3. I've learned more form the myths by looking at them symbolically as opposed to literally
  4. the myths are simply too fanciful
  5. science explains the methods of the Gods not fictitious stories
  6. why would the Gods reveal Their histories and stories to only a handful of people or anyone for that matter?
  7. believing religious stories is a trap and only breed radical fundamentalism
  8. the myths make the Gods out to be hypocrites since They "rape" etc but the words of Apollo (Delphic Maxims) tell us not to
  9. the commonalities between mythologies show that the Divine has tried to communicate certain moral or spiritual truths to us rather than record a history
  10. not even the ancients took them seriously (Cicero, Aristotle, Socrates, Cato the Elder
