Who are the other 2?

** But considering that Hera was Zeus’ sister…**

Hera is Zeus’ sister. Gods are immortal, remember?

**The Old Testament was also written by the winners. Who do you think they’re going to elect as “God’s chosen?” **

The winners? They were enslaved by Egypt, destroyed and made captive by Assyria and Babylon, overrun by various nations, and destroyed themselves in civil wars.

What exactly did they win?

[DreadCthulhu]

The Jews are still around, while the Pharohs, Assyrian and Bablyon’s have bit the dust or changed dramatically in their beliefs.

Babylon’s what?

[AncientHumanoid]

Babylon 5, of course.
