Ph: Faith: The Perversion Of Christian Ideals Comments

The perversions of religious ideals, in general I would say. Should give many food for thought. Excellent.

Your views of many vexed issues in religion today is refreshingly open and enlightened. The believers you are chiding with your version of Christian ideals are also the ones who rejected Reynolds Price's version of the gospel. Their minds are securely closed so that doubts cannot get in and disrupt their delicately balanced belief systems. But I see myself as a kind of Joseph Campbell-type mythologist who sees all myths as valid - it's just that some are more appropriate as guides than others, some are enlightened, others dark with ancestral fear and trembling. But it's all MYTHOLOGY! Myth - mythology - mythic - these are all positive words to me.
