Good Myth inspires the soul with dreams of perfect wonder and no one is left under any doubt as to its allegorical (at best) relationship with Truth which it nevertheless manages to enrich by simply being told. Bad Myth. OTOH, oppresses the soul with lurid histories that glorify rape, massacre, oppression, racism, misogyny, infanticide, and every other human atrocity ever devised in the name of a totalitarian Godhead.

Good Myth is devised to tell us about ourselves and our sacred relationship with Nature in archetypes, dreams, patterns and fluid morphologies that were ancient when the stones of Avebury were being raised. Bad Myth, OTOH, is devised to be enforced as Truth at the point of axe and sword and is thus drenched, every word, in the blood of the countless millions of innocent souls who have been massacred to that end.

Sadly, the ancient sacred writings of the bible belong very firmly to this latter category.
