Comments on: Resurrection of Zeus http://conversationalatheist.com/2009/08/resurrection-of-zeus/ Atheists need to make more of an effort to be heard in their daily life.

For starters, I wonder how many Christians have even read the account in Acts that you have quoted. From my personal experience, many Christians (Pentecostals being the exception) don't like to read out of the book of Acts. I like how you turn the tables. Christians won't believe claims concerning Zeus, why should someone simply accept a claim concerning Jesus from a potentially 2000 year old witness? A Christian would be angry if someone tried to proselytize his or her child over to Islam or Hinduism. What if a zealous Jew tried to convince a Christian's child that Jesus isn't real? But, they won't stop to consider the opposite. Many Christians are programed not to think this way, for the most part. Anyway-- I like it. Nice job, in my opinion.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('882','Uruk'); return false;">Reply</a> | <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('882','Uruk','Good essay and good point.
