factor and also my own opinion on what religion is. It seems that religion exists as a belief system to help people explain events that would otherwise be unexplainable. In fact Kenneth Dick said in "Man‚ Father of the Gods" "All religions start as a mere imaginary explanation for something not understood‚ and that is all they are." Many‚ if not all religions do this. Christianity‚ Vikings‚ Greek‚ including every culture today. The Christians had for example the story of the "Tower of Babel" In Genesis

is impossible for any being to be the efficient cause of itself because then it would have to bring itself into being‚ and to bring itself into being‚ it would have to exist before it existed.

Our actions have stained history with their gory senselessness. Forgiveness does not exist. Salvation is fiction. Everything is a lie. I look around with weary boredom. Nothing surprises me anymore.

Do Myth Exist Anymore Do myth exist today? After reading the first three chapters of The Power of Myth and remembering a class that I took several years ago‚ I think they still exist or should I say that we are all part of some future mythology. It will require a careful eye or a creative ear to point them out because of the direction our society has went with the machine. My understanding is that a myth is a type of speech.
