Greek and Roman mythologies begin with a single god and goddess. Some Wiccan tenants refer to God & Goddess both, &c. I think with a little examination, one could weave a very interesting tapestry with all the diveristy of these myriad faiths with common threads between them all. [/quote] Surely we could. We could weave such a tapestry through many unrelated, contradictory things in life, if we try hard enough. But is the interestingness of this tapestry of any actual value? Does the ability to create abstract connections relate in any way to the reality of the situation? Just a rhetorical question really... To me, whatever interconnections can be made have no real bearing when it comes down to it. The similarities that exist tell us something about the human psyche...as do the differences. I find all of it quite interesting, but I think to take all of these different mythologies and mash them into one, or to try to say that they are just different paths to the same end is........frought with both logical and philosophical problems. It is also important to note that when you speak of this ability to interchange the religions, you are still approaching this from a very decidedly christian perspective - assuming that the christian view of god is accurate, and ignoring the vastly different views of god that add some pretty nasty snags in that 'interesting tapestry' Again - FWIW =) Loading...
