Well, I have always much preferred spirituality to organized religion, given the choice. However, I've seen many good things done by people in organized religion, so I am not about to condemn it out of hand.

What if a "myth" is simply a symbolic tale? A metaphor? I believe that is the case with most ancient religious tales that have been passed down. I can't help it if so many of the followers today are naive enough to believe a metaphorical tale in a literal fashion.

The story of Adam and Eve, for example, I take as a symbolic tale about the whole human race in a very ancient time...not about 2 individuals. I think it's a story about the consciousness of human beings going through a profound shift to a greater form of self-awareness than is seen in most animals...and possibly it's about changing ecological conditions on the planet also at around that same time.
