Myths are stories or explanations of the origin and meaning of the world and the universe and their relation to a particular culture or civilisation. Mythological stories tend to be integrated to religious doctrines of cultures and are considered factual and sacred. Though mythological stories are characteristic of pre‐scientific world, many aspects and beliefs of the mythical tradition are perpetuated in the modern world “ It is in creation myths that cultures find basic answers. Creation myths exert comprehensive and profound influence in the saga of human history. Cultures consider their creation myths as the most sacred; the very ground on which their belief edifice stands. Holding literally to the claims of a particular myth is a great error in that it substitutes myth’s values for scientific facts and results in the worst form of religiosity. Frozen in time, myth’s doctrines come to describe a world far removed from and irrelevant to our times. Its followers consequently...

What Have You Done?
"I was hungry, and you formed a humanities club, and discussed my hunger.
I was imprisoned, and you crept of quietly to your chapel in the cellar and prayed for my release.
I was naked, and in your mind you debated the morality of my appearance.
I was sick, and you knelt and thanked God for your good health.
I was homeless, and you preached to me the spiritual shelter of the love of God.
I was lonely, and you left me alone to pray for me.
You seem so holy, so close to God:
But I am still very hungry, and lonely and cold.
So where have your prayers gone? What have they done?
What does it profit a man to go through his book of prayers, when the rest of the world is crying for help.
-Bob Rawland
