Default The Myth of God
Do you distinguish between myths of God (narrative stories, books of cultural, religious and historical significance) and "god" (a divine being, divinity, or a concept of god)? If so, what is the relationship between the two?

Do the myths accurately reflect the god?

I do.

It is the same difference as the truth of beauty (chemical/nervous reactions, behavioral influence), and the Truth of Beauty (the personal experience of it).

A better example would be the truth of the objective world, and the Truth of the Subjective World. What reality really is from an objective perspective is completely different from our experience of it. What the color red really is is not how we experience it.

What god could be (even if just an idea or ideal) is not what God is to me.

One is a myth, the other is the God itself.

But there's no other relationship between them other than that?
