Mythology

Absurd. Foolish. Nonsense. Fiction. Divisive. Irrational. Unreasonable. Wasteful. Parasitic. Superstition.

I wish I could respect the belief of others in this regard, but I don't. I see it as a symptom of a deeper disease, which is the lack of critical thinking. It see it on par, in many instances, with fake medicines sold by hucksters to the gullible. It is parasitic and wasteful. I think there is some degree to which it is positive, to the extent that it reflects reverence, an appreciation of the natural world, the aspirations to give to our fellow people and animals. Some people seem to take these and leave the harmful aside to a great degree. I respect that attitude a little bit, but I would respect more those who move one step further, to throw off silly superstition, yet retain the most noble aspects of philosophy that have been coopted by religion.
