HIS-STORY ON HOW THE WORD CAME TO BE

Every faith in the world is based on fabrication. That is the definition of faith—acceptance of that which we imagine to be true, that which we cannot prove. Every religion describes God through metaphor, allegory and exaggeration, from the Early Egyptians through modern Sunday school. Metaphors are a way to help our minds process the Unprocessable. The problems arise when we begin to believe literally in our own metaphors. Religious allegory has become a part of the fabric of reality. And living in that reality helps millions of people cope and be better people.
