why don't you believe in Zeus?

ever since my kids were born, I've been telling them about Zeus. the Heavenly Father. the Cloud-Gatherer.

I've only taught them the truth, that the ancient writings tell us: how Zeus was the youngest son of Cronos and Rhea; how He spawned Athena, Apollo, Persephone and Heracles; how He reigns on Olympus, the eternal throne; how in His wisdom He tests and encourages mankind. how He judges us, and forgives our follies. all that stuff.

my kids are all grown up now. they're smart kids. they know about philosophy, and theology, and science. they know Zeusism is not the only religion out there. they know some people think Zeus doesn't even exist. and they know the only reason they believe in Zeus is because of the purity of their faith in Him.

but still, my kids choose to love and worship Zeus.

I think they're mistaken. how about you?

Update:

I should have titled this question: Christians - Why don't you believe in Zeus?

that's the challenge. my (hypothethical) kids only believe in Zeus because I taught them to believe! what makes your God-belief any different?

(I forgot some people actually *do* believe in Zeus. it's a weird world ....)

    I don't believe in any gods, but I admit that Zeus sounds more interesting than the actual god.

    answer: I do believe in Zeus and give him and the other Greek and Roman deities honor as well. Why are your children mistaken when you left them open to the ancient gods and goddesses? Paganism makes more sense than some other religions.

    Zeus will strike down the unbelievers with a bolt of lightening just like Phaeton.

    I do believe in Zeus but I don't think he's the first creator. FSM created Zeus and all others.

    I agree, I mean if Zeus doesn't exist then where does the lightening come from?
