a textbook is usually compiled by lots of people...so they are all atheists? my teacher was a devout catholic and taught mythology...I guess she was misrepresenting.

A myth doesn't mean it isn't true. By definition, a myth is a religious legend that has been passed down through oral tradition for several, usually hundreds of years, until it was finally written down. For instance the Adam and Eve story was not written by them, it was written hundred of years after, so it is a mythic tale. Noah's Ark is another mythic tale. But Christ is not a mythic figure because we have writing from people claimed to have heard and seen him. Thus it does not fall into myth, but to historical. No Greek author ever claimed to have seen Hercules, Achilles, or Athena. But the writers of the New Testament affirm that they saw Jesus with their very own eyes, and heard him with their very own ears.

I think a person that didn't believe in God made your book and your basing your entire statement and question from the mind of one person, you asked my opinion so their you have it. I really am sorry if you don't like it, but i am not sorry for what I said. no textbooks are usually compiled by man people yes but written no, they just copy information that has already been written, but im not going to argue because you seem in need to prove everyone that you are right, and that shows uncertainty, with that being said i am done.

If by Myth you mean stories that inspire us to see more than the world has to offer, then yes. If by Myth you mean stories that are inspired by real events and interpreted according to the community's needs, then yes. If by Myth you mean, that these stories are baseless and nonsensical, then No.

It's all part of our faith. People are going to try to change what we believe in and it is up to our faith to go thru it and not be changed from it. If they want to label it as a myth, go right ahead. I will still believe what I want and they shall be judged in the end, not me.

I think you are on a mission to attack the beliefs of Chritianity and are willing to use whatever sources you can find to do so.
Is there anything else about us you wish to rag on?

I think that the writers of your text book should have first consulted with the Historians and Archeologist......

That's where this society wants them, because if they are myth then they are not true. They are AFFRAID they'll have to answer to somebody for their life styles.
