To us, basing stories on christianity is the same as basing stories on Roman mythology, Native American folklore, or unsubstantiated government conspiracies.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Most religious stories and mythologies have some sort of similar root, some sort of global archetypes.
The same myths are told in every culture, and they might swap out details, but it's still the same story. It's the same story, but with a different face.
Many of us view the bible and other religious teachings as mythology.
Fairly tales are myths, and myths are only myths because there's a grain of truth in them.
Myths are stories that express meaning, morality or motivation. Whether they are true or not is irrelevant.
I think the Christ-myth stories make great stories, whether it's 'The Matrix' or 'Braveheart,' they all are tapping into some kind of deep myth in our DNA, and by myth I don't necessarily mean false.
Superficial similarities exist between Christianity and some ancient pagan religions. But careful study reveals that there are far more dissimilarities.
I just had a hunch that there might be kernels of truth or reality - scientific or historical reality - in stories about nature that are perpetuated in oral myths. That's how I got interested in it.
Myths are stories that explain a natural phenomenon. Before humans found scientific explanations for such things as the moon and the sun and rainbows, they tried to understand them by telling stories.
All my stories are like the Greek and Roman myths, and the Egyptian myths, and the Old and New Testament.
