Someone once said to a Christian, “Tell me why you don’t believe in Zeus and I’ll tell you why I don’t believe in God.” Today’s religious believers scoff at ancient mythology as silly and unbelievable, but many of the stories in Bible are just as ridiculous; often sounding like something you would see in a cartoon.
A donkey that spoke human language.
Magicians throw down sticks that turn into snakes, so Moses throws down his staff and it too becomes a snake, eats the other snakes, and then turns back onto a staff.
A man wrestles with an angel (and wins).
Angels come down to Earth, have sex with some women and start a race of giants.
A young woman was made pregnant by a god.
Noah put two of EVERY creature on the earth in a boat.
Children teased a prophet, so a big bear came along and killed them.
Lot’s wife looked back at Sodom as they walked away so God turned her into salt.
Moses parted the Red Sea, then Elijah parted the Jordan River, and then Elisha also parted the Jordan River.
Etc., etc., etc.
So what’s the difference between today’s religions and ancient mythology? Nothing. It’s all just cartoon nonsense.
