Nice try... I'm was a Greek and Latin scholar in high school. The Greeks and Romans didn't believe in Zeus or Juno... they were stories they made up to explain the things they didn't understand (see "Big Bang Theory). They admitted as much. Their real religion was worship of their ancestors.

I see. Well, it appears that our perceptions of reality are too far removed from one another to make debate of any use. I'm disinterested in arguing over the accuracy of historical accounts describing Greco-Roman beliefs. My point has been made (irrespective of whether the Greeks actually believed those accounts which have never been proven any more inaccurate than have the Hebrew Testaments) and it suits me fine whether you acknowledge its relevance or not.

But not grammar?

At any rate, what are your sources for the curious assertion that the Greeks and Romans did not believe in their gods and goddesses? In particular, your sources for the allegation that "they admitted as much." Please give at least three examples of "them" admitting that they really didn't believe in their gods and goddesses.

Your high school classics teacher doesn't count, unless he or she wrote a book that you can cite. A real book, with footnotes.
