Joseph Campbell writes,“We have people who consider themselves believers because they accept metaphors as facts, and we have others who classify themselves as atheists because they think religious metaphors are lies.” For Campbell, religious stories are neither facts nor lies, but metaphors. Yet metaphors aren’t so innocent that they let us off the hook. As the name implies, a meta-phor uses one term to carry across another.
Metaphors are our best achievement in Wisdom but Is true is not for everyone. As most religions including Christian (The Solomonic Teachings) They get the all as a representation of god, including knowledge. They try to make you an aware person of your own impermanence and not make you waste time in things that are not important for fullfillment. Knoledge is like a deadly child, when you achieve it really you have so little time left.
