I watched a film about Joseph Campbell tonight called The Hero’s Journey. Here is the best line (I paraphrase):
"God is a metaphor for the transcendent ground of all being, something beyond any feeble attempt to conceptualize. And there are generally two kinds of people in the world: Those who want to see that metaphor as the literal truth and those who want to see it as a complete lie. It is neither."
