Also, you just stated 3 western stereotypes of 3 Asian cultures, and then do u wanna answer the question why does every great cultures' mythologies have a Great Flood tale?Noah's Ark is Bs though.
I also assume Silly doesn't know who Dr.Wayne Dyer, and Joseph Campbell are.

Technically, there's only one type of atheism, simply put: the lack of belief in the existence of a supernatural deity. Yes I am an atheist.

They aren't Asian stereotypes lol, many (not all) people believed in those things.

I am saying that if a person is sincerely interested in the actual truth, they'll try to find reasons for why they believe in something. If there's a legitimate reason, there has to be evidence, and if there's no evidence, there's no reason to have that belief.

Why does every great culture have a Massive Flood Myth? That's not true, but I assume that many do, either because the myth was communicated from culture to culture, or because separate occurrences of normal floods were exaggerated and mystified by the locals into isolated/independent but similar myths.

Nope, I haven't heard of either of those people before, care to explain?
