The Effectiveness of myths in facilitating the talk of God

Tweet

Myths are stories formed out of symbols. People created it almost in everything they find unusual -things beyond literal description. They make a story on how it became like that and where it originated. This includes at some point, God, and how He created everything including human. Their thoughts that have developed and that has been carried out through the present time. In every myth, it reflects the insights and values of people and their culture. This then creates a link between the people, their culture and their belief in God. As God is seen as divine, cannot be described literally and so myths were used to express religious intuitions about what God is like and what He does -coming from the gathering together of symbols. Myths are in form of stories and are easy to understand. I stops the curiousness of people, putting and answer to a question right away pretty straightforwardly. But on the other hand, applying it to the present time. Being unscientifically based can be seen by people as untrue. For the simple reason that myths by common language at this present time tend to have a fictional/untrue description. And also people have come up with more effective and somewhat more convincing explanation to things which are scientifically base (ie evolution).
