What is to you, myth, is to me truth. I believe the truth did not awaken with Christ, it culminated in Him. If God interacted with people as Creator throughout culture and those cultures recognized Him as such, then it is not surprising that they responded to Him with truth. His nature would inevitably be expressed in the myths and legends they created. Because He wanted His Son to be recognized when He came it seems reasonable that He would reveals hints about Him not only to the prophets of Israel, but to truthbearers in every culture. I'm intersted in finding the truth, not avoiding it, but this is where my quest has taken me.
