A lot of it is. Gilgamesh may have been a real king, Troy may have been a real city, but the story is surely mythical. Jesus may bave been a real person, but the Gospel story demonstrably is dubious, too. Historians do get tempted to try to save bits of likely old stories to put in the History books...like the Hengist and Horsa story and Arthur of course. Thankfully, archaeology is giving a more factual picture of the post -Roman era so we don't have to rely on old stories. And the same is true of the Bible.

All you are doing is reinforcing my negative stereotypes about atheists. Gee look dad, another mocking condescending atheist! Yes son, they all tend to be that way, sadly.
What other response does 'You will burn eternally because you don't agree with me' deserve?

Not harping or bashing, just defending my stance. I can't hate a god, if I don't believe in deities. Note deities is plural, it don't believe in any gods, not just your Christian god. You shouldn't get so bent out of shape because we don't all share your religious beliefs.

You think that's pretty cool? I'll bet you didn't know that Pontious was the pilot of that flight, did you?

I wish I'd thought of that.

You're familiar with that! Surprise!
