The Australian Aboriginals have a creation myth that is intimately linked to the land. They have never considered themselves the owners of the land, but a part of it, and it a part of them.
They have been successful in applying their beliefs and storys to form this relationship with the land, and with each other, for over 50 thousand years.
Until white settlement, they had no concept of your relatively new creation myth fabricated in the middle east around 2000 yrs ago, and were a successful and well adjusted society before the pyramids were even thought of..
To claim your beliefs are the one and only true beliefs are so incredibly ignorant and narrow minded when other far more ancient creation myths are also on the table. They are no more or less real than your creation myths, yet they don't ram it down everyones necks or claim the only truth..
Christianity looks very insular, ignorant, self serving, arrogant, and confrontational compared to more ancient myths.
True..??
