- Campbell says this because he does not believe in a personal create present to
- the world yet distince from it. So, of course Western religions keep people
- from God. His God is himself when it comes down to it. What he really
- believes is a type of Hinduism, that all things are really the same
- manifestation of the one reality which is beyond all logic, personality, and
- rationality.
-
- If you read Paul in Romans 1 you will see how he disagrees with Campbell in a
- basic way.
