I agree with Joseph Cambell. Myths are important for teaching morals in society.
God and Jesus are myths. These myths can be useful at times. I like the myth about
"The Sermon on The Mount" because it's message is one of good will and peace.
Joe Campbell said that this makes Christianity a Pacifist religion. (He's sure to get some
argument about that!)

I call myself a non-believer. But even that label gets muddy at times. An "atheist" doesn't have to be an "anti-theist". "Agnostic" is a problem because it indicates ignorance. I know that gravity exists. I am not agnostic about that. If someone could prove that a god exists empirically I could accept it as true. But as this is not proven, I know that if I say that gravity doesn't exist, this is madness. But if I say that a god doesn't exist, is this crazy? It has not successfully been shown to me that a god does exist therefore why should I assume rationally that it/he/she does? This is not a decision based on ignorance but on scientific fact. So that takes care of agnosticism.

I think that if man and women love other men and women, this is more important than a god who is mythological loving someone. I believe this humanitarian love should be extended to animals as well.

I simply do not think it's at all important if a mythological god loves anything.
