I'm going to guess that you didn't get much out of the Illiad, either.
You don't seem to understand literary devices very well.
G-d is above you, but He is not up in the sky.
Shalom.
Actually, I got a lot out of The Iliad.

Ahhhhhhh, so now you agree with me and The Bible is nothing more than literature, no different than The Iliad. I'm glad we came to some form of agreement here!
G-d is above you, but He is not up in the sky.
So what you are saying here is that from a literary viewpoint, YHWH is no different from Zeus or Odin and the Biblical "Heaven" is identical to the "Mount Olympus" of Greek mythology or the "Asgard" or Norse mythology as literary devices. We really are coming to agreement here! I had no idea I would convince you of my viewpoint and had no intention of that when I started posting on this thread!
My purpose in posting here was really to demonstrate the fallacious nature of your analogy where the faithless are concerned.
