I also wonder if the Greek gods and other religious deities were actually Nephilim, fallen angels, or extraterrestrials with advanced tech. I believe spiritual warfare is real and the world is in a constant struggle between good and evil. I feel like we've been lied to about everything, only getting the info the powers that be want us to have so they can control us easier

Serious question... IF we've been "lied to about everything by the powers that be", that would mean God has deliberately withheld necessary information from mankind for some time now. We're not talking about a few years... we're talking centuries. When one studies how the bible got into our hands, he/she vividly sees the providential hand of God at work. When we talk about books that were/were not included in the canon, this gets very serious very quickly.
God hasn’t withheld anything that we needed to know. However, Satan has covered up and deceived billions of ppl. He’s been doing it from the beginning of mankind. I think Satan and fallen angels have corrupted media and institutions to withhold truth to cause doubt and discord about the truth found in the Bible.
