[QUOTE="bbsam, post: 1235301, member: 22662"] One of my few regrets in life is that I did not pick up my final project in a a college art class years ago. It was a self-portrait positioned between two of my favorite fantasy characters: Gandalf the White (of LOTR) and Raistlin Majere (Black Robe mage of Dragonlance). I titled the piece "Mytheology". Because when you get right down to it, the archetypes always remain. Whether it's God and Satan, Raistlin and Fizban, Gandalf and Sauron, we still have the representations of good and evil. We still live out our lives making determinations based on our perceptions of these constructs. Some call religion myth. In fact, in the religion class Paul and the Early Church, the term was extensively used but not in the least bit derogatory manner. How does science convey that part of humanity? How does it deal with crime and punishment? What does science say about justice and mercy? One can say that these are not of a religious manner, but I would suggest history says otherwise. History is rich with religious triumphs and failures that can be debated ad infinitum. But dismissing it as foolishness is...well foolish. What's your theology? [/QUOTE]
