Thats how I tend to feel about “comparative mythology,” e.g., of the Campbell school. )
True.. Joe Campbell went out of his way to rename “lies” as myth..
Seems he had distaste for the word lie.... and he didn’t trust the word truth..
Must’ve bought into the “you have your truth, I have mine” bull sperm..
He urinates all over the word truth... pity..
Because he seemed pretty smart otherwise..
Like of lazy as well, anything “religious” or even “spiritual”.. was viewed thru mythical glasses..
Much like many “scientists” do.. maybe from the same root cause..
Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools..
Truth-phobic is quite a comical state to be in...
Amuses me no end... Jesus had no requirement to be smart..
I respect that... even fools could be accepted..
If not; I would be totally undone.. and unqualified for salvation..
One day many/maybe most religious people may be very glad of that..
Thank you so very much for your telling insights!
