Everybody can play that kind of "games", mixing linguistics and religion. Look: Zeus (Ζεύς;, Greek) --> Deus (Latin). And here comes the "trap": to the polytheistic Romans deus meant god (with lower case); to the early Christians (monotheistic) the same word meant God (with upper case), that is, the only god.

But, obviously, there is an enormous difference between Zeus and God, despite those ancient Palestinian second-rate pseudo-writers tried to remedy their pathetic lack of literary imagination by imitating deeds from Classical mythology. For instance, the famous fantasy "a god impregnates a human virgin with not even being close to her" is not a Christian creation. As always, Greeks were previous and were better.

In short: Zeus was horny for Danae and invented the golden rain. Read the whole story yourselves.
