Why I don't worship Zeus

Response to Richard Dawkins. Why have I and others, who still believe in one God, not devote our lives to the worship of other gods like Zeus, Thor, and Vishnu? Wouldn't it be more philosophically consistent just to abandon our belief in ALL gods? In this video I examine the origins of Zeus, as well as his rise to power within the Greek pantheon, his general mode of life, and his relationship with us human beings. I also offer an "internal critique" of the Zeus worshiper's worldview. In other words, I take for granted the Zeus worshiper's views and ask whether these views are compatible with other things that we take for granted in life, such as the regularity and predictability of nature, the objectivity of morality, the notion of an action being intrinsically moral, and the universal validity of morality.
