I am sick and tired of everyone calling the ancient tales of the great gods "myths." What a ridiculous notion! This world is so complex that it had to have been the result of the great blackbird, Nyx. In the beginning there was an empty darkness. The only thing in this void was Nyx, a bird with black wings. With the wind she laid a golden egg and for ages she sat upon this egg. Finally life began to stir in the egg and out of it rose Eros, the god of love. One half of the shell rose into the air and became the sky and the other became the Earth. Eros named the sky Uranus and the Earth he named Gaia. Then Eros made them fall in love.
Now does this fit the facts? Of course, and here's why. First, there is no proof that the earth isn't Gaia and the sky isn't Uranus. Second, how else could the earth and sky stay together? The would HAVE to be in love! Eros MUST exist or our atmosphere would simply leave the earth to die. The natural conclusion is that Zeus, Hera, Apollo and all the other gods must exist, or this world would be in chaos. They were worshiped by millions and their legacy is still felt today. All those people couldn't have been wrong.
Real Proof that Zeus exists!

Everyone knows that ALL of those things are created and governed by the Flying Spaghetti Monster!

I am now ashamed to think that I was once an atheist.

well, I don't know, buddy. My translation doesn't tell it like that, and I had some really smart guys down at the quickimart translate it for me so it must be the correct translation.

No way!
Christianity makes a LOT more sense. Think about it:
An immortal Jew/God, born of a virgin, who may or may not be his own father, can make you live forever if you telepathicaly tell him you love him, so that he can remove a curse from your body that is present in all humans because a rib-woman was tricked by a talking snake into eating a magical fruit. It makes perfect sense!
And you expect us to believe that Greek crap?
Lore - In the beginning, there was nothing, and God said: "Let there be Light" And there was still nothing... but everyone could see it.

Very nice viewpoint there, B_D. I might subscribe to this...but as soon as you start requiring a tenth of my belongings/income and that I attend your meetings, I'm gonna move on to something else.
However, what Lore said is tempting, too. Great, just when I was becoming comfortable with my newfound agnoticism, here comes two new religions to look into!

I would like to see someone prove that Zeus does not exist.

Your actual mileage may vary, deity may not be exactly as described or even exist, actions may be misrepresented, misattributed or lied about, obfuscating poetic language may be used in descriptions, words such as 'anything', 'proof', 'know', 'true' may be misused/redefined.
