For me studying about the Myths made me acknowledge how different we all are from one another, yet so much alike in the same way. The myths were so much alike, they all strived for the praise of something, which is much like how humans are, we want the love of others, yet we want to feel powerful as well. We can be pompous and cruel to get the things we want, and have no feeling for those who get hurt in the process. It made me think of time when I had only thought about myself instead of thinking about how my doings would affect these around me. In a lot of ways we are a lot like the Gods of these stories, especially today, we are power, money hungry beings for the most part. We strive to be the best, and have the best. It made me think about what was important in life. It is not about Strength and possessions but about who we are as people and how we do affect those around us. Are we doing our part in these myths? Let’s say for a moment they were real, would any of the Gods be satisfied by their creation today? I think for the most part the answer would be no. The people are not praising them as they were made for, not taking care of the earth as intended and are so wrapped up in themselves they have forgotten what their purpose is.

Being a Christian these myths made me look at myself in a different way. I believe in God and call myself a Christian, yet I too loose sight of my purpose on earth. I have forgotten that my purpose is to praise God, spread his word, and live by his book. I have let myself become engulfed in things of the earth instead of keeping my sights on The Lord. I know that we must be involved in earthly things and make a life for ourselves here, but that is not the main goal for me, and I tend to forget about that. This has opened my eyes and made me realize once again why I am a Christian, and why I do not believe in other creators or evolution. It also reminds me of why so many people are not Christians and why they do not believe in God. It is hard for people to understand things that cannot be explained, it frightens them and for some people they must have logic reason to believe in something if they cannot feel it or see it. What I would like to know though, is how one can believe in that of what a scientist has layed before us and told us it was an element, or that it had a weight. How can you know for sure it is true ?? You believe it because someone said it was so and it can be proven right? So why don’t people believe in the Bible? Because one cannot physically see God, because it cannot be proven? You cannot see air, yet it is there is it not? Who is to say what is real and what we are told to believe? For those of you who are Christian you will understand that once one has felt God speak inside their soul it forever changes one’s life and from then on out there is doubt as to who we are to live for. I am not trying to push my belief upon anyone. And I am not saying that those who do not believe are foolish, because I do have respect for other beliefs and do not look down upon them, so please do not take this offensively, I apologize if I offend anyone that is not my intention at all.
