Updates galore! As some of my readers have already borne witness to, the website has been resurrected (pun intended); from the ashes of the old will come the new. Carol has done a great job with the site so far. These updates include new News segments, the recent online discussions concerning the Project from all over the Blogosphere, and an updated list of Scholars Associates.
More is still to come. Keep an eye on the website and this blog for continued details.

My studies have been in Folklore and Mythology (MA-UCLA)
and it isn’t difficult for me to see myths everywhere. When they are hot, believed in, they’re hot. like the ones about Hera and Zeus. I don’t count on them to save me, but they’re fun to read about. The myths and legends of Jesus, Mary, Joseph, et al hold no interest for me whatsoever in a theological way, but as a mythologist, I include them on my bookshelf but I’m stunned when I realize how they are believed even in the face of what we know is the infinite universe and how tiny we all are. As I see it, man created gods in his own image.

You’ll hear no argument from me.

I submitted one above which you say is ‘awaiting moderation.’ I don’t understand.

I approve all comments, otherwise I’d have lots of spam where I’d rather see useful content–like what you posted.
