7. Labeled as "Anti-Science Fiction"

Christian mythology is on the same level as Greek Mythology when it undergoes scrutiny. Maybe the Jewish tribes people of the Bronze age regarded it as historic in some manner but talking snakes, burning bushes and parting seas is no different than tales in Greek and Eygptian mythology. j People of the Bronze age and before regarded their mythological Gods with just as much devotion as "Christians" do today.

I love that scene in the movie "Troy" where king Priam is praying to the God Apollo all night so intently before the great battle was to commence. It shows how deeply [people prayed to their Gods just as is done today. People in America have been indoctrinated from birth to believe in the Christian myth long before they developed critical thinking skills. A simple question to ask is ..."if you were God couldn't you come up with a better plan than the ones your religions are telling you?". What kind of a God could it be who is so needy and emotional except one created by needy and emotional men.
