Campbell seemed to know his stuff.
Evil being wrapped in truth is a clever trick that has been used for generations to dupe the masses. If people studied religion with a real intent of seeking personal value as opposed to interpreting it has historically factual and metaphysical I think there would be less "radical" religious lunatics.
Absolutely, but it’s difficult to shake off that intetpretation when it’s being purposefully promoted on such a massive scale. Also, it’s a far simpler interpretation requiring little thought, which is very agreeable to a society who has been taught that indoctrination is education.
