Since everyone descended from Adam and Eve, so they all knew about God, and "Zeus" just means "god" why is it so offensive to consider the various ancient forms of storm god worship as God worship? Maybe they were doing it wrong, but it looks like they were trying.
However, I think I'll get more rational answers from Pagans about it than these flat headed Christians.
(Sarcasm) But remember kids: We only believe in one God .... and also his son, and the Holy Spirit, but there's only one God. Plus angels, and Satan, and demons. And everyone dies, except Elijah, who was carried off in a flaming chariot. And there's invisible spiritual warfare going on all around us. But don't you dare say that Genesis sounds remarkably similar to all other ancient mythology, with genealogy going back to supernatural beings. The jews are right, Abraham is their genetic ancestor, and he literally lived 175 years.
If I can understand Revelation is a very artistic description of the war in 70 AD, and still be a Christian, then I can understand Genesis is a bit fanciful too. Jerry Falwell style Bible reading isn't helping bring intelligent men back to the church, it's driving them to atheism and Paganism.
