IF what you say does come to pass, do you think Christianity will be remembered as polytheistic?
The actual mythological type of stuff that would involve gods comes with the angels and one being cast out of heaven for becoming evil and arrogant.
When you consider angels and the devil as being more godlike than humans some may interpret that as the demi-gods in a pantheon and what is referred to as God being the head of the pantheon like Odin or Zeus.
Not even brining up how the holy trinity will be viewd in terms of monotheism.

I have a Christian backround so it I was taught that Jesus came and straightened out some misconceptions in the old testament.

A second coming? Will he come and talk about how bad his editors were and straighten out the scriptures yet again?

If we are in to what we believe. I think that Christianity is inherently good. The bad parts of it, its intolerance, its accusations, its violent history, its attempt to rule others lives, is all human overlay to the true meaning of Christianity. I hope it never passes into mythology, rather we become enlightened enough to separate the mythology from the pure truth of it.
