This is a good one. It makes sense. When Bill Moyers
interviewed Joseph Campbell on “The Power of Myth”, Campbell compared religion
to being in a club (Campbell himself was a Catholic). He pointed out that there
was great value for many in joining the club and believing in the club experience,
and possibly having an epiphany by doing so. You need to try to believe in your
club, be it Catholic or Baptist, Moose or Mason. Campbell pointed out that
there are many roads to the same place. We get into trouble when people leave
no room for differences of opinion and insist that their club is the only way,
not just for themselves, but for everyone else as well. Humans fight
endless wars over the name of God or for the individual right to not give
god any name at all...
