Many of us view the bible and other religious teachings as mythology.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Mythology is a set of primitive lies that people rarely believe. This is rather different from history, which is a set of lies that people actually believe.
In the world of language, or in other words in the world of art and liberal education, religion necessarily appears as mythology or as Bible.
Mythology is a subjective truth. Every culture imagines life a certain way.
I've come to the conclusion that mythology is really a form of archaeological psychology. Mythology gives you a sense of what a people believes, what they fear.
I do love mythology.
I believe in mythology. I guess I share Joseph Campbell's notion that a culture or society without mythology would die, and we're close to that.
We read Greek and Norse mythology until it came out of our ears. And the Bible.
Other people's beliefs may be myths, but not mine.
The point of mythology or myth is to point to the horizon and to point back to ourselves: This is who we are; this is where we came from; and this is where we're going. And a lot of Western society over the last hundred years - the last 50 years really - has lost that. We have become rather aimless and wandering.
Thus we hope to teach mythology not as a study, but as a relaxation from study; to give our work the charm of a story-book, yet by means of it to impart a knowledge of an important branch of education.
