Guest guest Posted February 5, 2000 Report Share Posted February 5, 2000 This is our unity in mythology! If a man stands up and says, " My prophet did such and such a wonderful thing " , others will say, " That is only superstition " , but at the same time they say that their own prophet did still more wonderful things, which they hold to be historical. Nobody in the world, as far as I have seen, is able to make out the fine distinction between history and mythology. as it exists in the brains of these persons. All such stories, to whatever religion they may belong, are really mythological, mixed up occasionally, it may be with, a little history. ---------------- Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow mindedness. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men & things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one corner of the earth all one's lifetime.
