The God Myth and Reality: Jake McCoy, construction worker and young man grew up in northern Indiana farm country. He was engaged to a beautiful young woman, Jan, who was three months pregnant and they were engaged to be married, live a wonderful life, share their religious beliefs, and enjoy Midwestern life to the fullest that their backgrounds would allow. Madly in love, feeling on top of the world, planning a fantastic life together, they did not realize a catastrophe was headed their way. Jan was assaulted, raped, lost her pregnancy and progressed into a severe depression which ended up with the loss of her life. Jake, angry, depressed and grieving blamed God for causing this and wondered why a caring God would do such a thing to them. He lost his belief in God, became bitter with religion and questioned whether there was a God or just science and the earth. He joined the Navy, suppressing his feelings, and yet wondering if there really is a God or Supreme Being. His life would be a long journey of investigation, exploring possibilities and wondering if God was real, science, or imagination. Many questions can be answered, but in the end it is a question of whether you believe or don’t believe—that is the question.

These days agnostics are considered open-minded, atheists are considered scientific, Buddhists are philosophical—and Christians, well, they’re just considered fools. With so many myths and lies about God and Christianity out there, it’s easy for young adults to start questioning the relevance and certainty of their beliefs. If you feel as if a skeptical world is assaulting your faith, you are not left defenseless. In The God Myth and Other Lies Heather Thompson Day provides clear, well-documented responses to the most common falsehoods. Your own faith will be strengthened as you get solid answers about an array of hot topics, including Creation, Sabbath, Jesus, sex, death, and homosexuality. Don’t let other people’s doubt steal your faith. Instead, let their questions inspire you to study what you believe. As you do, God will turn any shaky faith into holy confidence.

"To the student of myth: This book attempts to provide a concise overview of the theoretical approaches to studying mythology, both in theory and in everyday life. Whether one is interested in a particular myth or mythic tradition, or understanding comparative mythology more broadly, or even the subject and overview of mythology as a whole, this text attempts to present a clear and understandable introduction to some of the best tried and true approaches, as well as to address some of the perennial problems and points of confusion. To embark on the study of myth is to join a noisy chorus of scholars, both present and past, in attempting to divine the meaning of some of the most important, intriguing, and at times puzzling narratives that humankind has ever crafted. We hope this text will help provide you with the theoretical background and tools to allow for a rich, full study of mythology in all its myriad forms. To the teacher of myth: Myth has been the source of a great deal of theoretical disagreement and confusion as well. We have tried to address some of the controversies by appealing to a close and careful consideration of the data, which at times helps keep lofty theorizing firmly anchored in the real world. Additionally, we have tried to present a historical background to the study of myth, which should also help illuminate the close relationships between a society, and that society's views of myth. Mythology does not occur without people: it is only with a strong grounding in the study of humankind that we can hope to make progress in our understanding. Where doubt within the scholarly community has arisen, we have tried to pay attention to both sides of the debates. The resulting text is intended to be a detailed, yet engaging, introduction to the study of world mythology, and a scholarly counterweight to popular, unscientific views. Our experience in teaching myth is that the most vexing issues stem from the several strained if not contradictory connotations that the term myth carries. Is myth archaic, or is it part of all societies and thus modern as well? Is it part of religion and/or science, or does it contrast with these? Most vexingly, does myth designate falsehood, or the highest forms of truth-those that form the core, guiding principles of particular societies' engagements of the cosmos and life within it? There is also the double signification of the term mythology, which points to both an academic tradition and the object studied by that tradition. Our view is that while such antinomies are unlikely to be resolved in the foreseeable future, much can be gained by locating and identifying them and by attempting to understand how and why they have emerged. We hope that this approach not only lends clarity to the topic of myth, but also serves to energize the study to which we now turn"--

Are you strong enough to handle the truth about your faith and belief? Since infancy you have been taught stories from the Bible. Did you know that they are simply myths and superstitions, gathered together from the veils of antiquity? The priests of the ancient world were seeking a new method of power and control over the masses. In this book you will be given truths and directed to paths of reality. All religions are created for control and wealth. Jesus never existed and there is no evidence that a benevolent God watches over his children. There is also the same lack of proof that an Allah, a Buddha, or a Krishna ever existed or exists today. What we have developed is a path to the total destruction of mankind. Our planet earth is being torn apart by foolish beliefs which are promoted and supported by the weaknesses of a mass of human beings who have to have a security blanket. Collectively the nations of the world are on an inevitable collision course and the cause is religion. This is the ultimate results of a child's game of, "my God is bigger than your God "

Written simply yet comprehensively, Molnar's anlaysis of the history of philosophy and false mysticism leads him to conclude that a return to a moderate realism will save the philosophical enterprise from a series of epistemological and societal absolutes that are embodied in contemporary rationalism and mysticism alike. Issues that have been systematically excluded from discourse will have to be reintroduced into the discussion of person and providence Molnar divided the philosophical systems into two groups according to their vision of God, and consequently of reality One group removes God from the human scope, therefore rendering the world unreal, unknowable, and meaningless. The second group holds that God is immanent in the human soul, thereby emphasizing the human attainment of divine status, and reducing the extra-mental world to a condition of utter imperfection. Either way, the result is a pseudo-mysticism, a denial of the creaturely status of human beings What is most needed, Molnar claims, is a theory of knowledge whose ideal is not fusion but distinction-between God and Man, subject and object, the self and the society. By thus raising the question of philosophy over against magic Molnar seeks to awaken the reader from neo-dogmatic assumptions and restore speculative thought to its traditional place.

The Bible contains a set of beliefs that support the faith of a core group who compiled the work. They believe there is a God and in the added later addition of the New Testament, that story grew to become more about an assumed son of God the father. The Bible vigorously supports these two beliefs that provide religions with a chain of stories that while they inspire, also mislead and confuse. The opinions espoused in both cases are in fact myths that are can only be assumed to be true. In time these have become beliefs that have greatly influenced global attitudes. To unravel the fictions religions propose are true; as an intelligent species, we have the ability to open our collective eyes and consciously break free of the superstition, fear and blind faith a religious way of thinking has generated within us. Religions have caused a biased mindset to permeate and distort the thinking of many influential members in every population across the world. The evolution of this process has conditioned humanity for thousands of years to blindly accept that the intention behind any and all religious doctrines is to uplift our behaviour. The real truth, however, is that religion promotes a self-righteous paternalism that continues to outweigh a sense of true fellowship those religions claim is their primary purpose. The religious need to realise that they do not have anything like a monopoly of the truth; nor is moral behaviour a natural bi-product of religious doctrine. Through the denigration and rejection of the opinions of non-believers, this has seen them create and entrench a system of fear driven blind faith in the impossible. Believing in an external God is simply a crutch for those who feel they have a need for it to lean on. What would be far more beneficial is our knowing we belong to a civilisation that is supportive and harmonious and in which we don't ever feel alone and ignored. We miss out on this by being misled by a na�ve way of thinking that blindly accepts the delusions of a faith-based religion, this process has been going on for too long. Wars are but one negative consequence of believing in assumptions that make no sense. What is patently obvious is that there is no male God above us that is monitoring and judging our lives. However, there is an attitude within us humanity can usefully revere; it is the power that a man told us about in a single sentence two thousand years ago. He said - "God is love and love is God." Jesus was speaking about an under-nurtured capacity we each have within us. We have ignored this wisdom due to the misguided belief of one man who changed his name from Saul to Paul and claimed Jesus was a Son of his God. It was Paul's continuing promotion of an ancient external God, a God who never existed, that caused us to turn away from the non-physical powers that Jesus said we each have within us. With the full sense of the power of love fully reborn, the human race would again be able to move mountains and build pyramids. And, more importantly, live in harmony with the rest of humanity.

This book is an attempt to interpret man's religious existence, an inter pretation for which some of the groundwork was laid by the author's book PHENOMENOLOGY AND ATHEISM (Duquesne University Press, 2nd impression, 1965). That work explored the "denial" of God by the leading atheists and came to terms with the most typical forms assumed by their "denials". Nevertheless, I am not an adherent of atheism. The reason why it is possible to agree with many "atheists" without becoming one of them is that man can misunderstand his own religiousness or lapse into an inauthentic form of being a believer. What many "atheists" unmask is one or the other form of pseudo-religiousness which should be unmasked. On the other hand, I have also constantly refused to identify religiousness with such inauthentic forms and to define it in terms of those forms - just as I refuse to identify the appendix with appendicitis, the heart with an infarct, the psyche as a disturbance, and marriage as a fight. The book offered here has been written since the rise of the radical "God is dead" theology. This "theology" without God has often been presented as the only form of theological thought still suitable for "modern man". As the reader will notice, I reject the brash facility with which some "modern men" measure the relevance of "anything" by its "modernity".
