I agree, but you see Bob, the problem with myths is that they have

Even if the original founder of the myth , had good intentions, and his
sole intention was ethical, yet the ideation itself has its own way of
development that is very difficult to contain , especially when a myth
is believed as a religion. it usually turns to be disasterous at the
end.

It worked fairly well for Judaism. Jews have survived over 3000 years
and against steep odds. It remains to be seen what will become of
Christianity and Islam.

Well, there is really no great difference between these three
religions, All are myths.

I think that people should base their ethical standards on objective
material. for example the idea of mutual benefit. IF a metaphysical
being is necessary for some to believe in, then I think , it should be
contemplated only in general manner, that this being is God, the final
aim of that life is towards the good, were good is a sort of cosmic
mutual benefit. etc , etc,.........

Respecting others and viewing your interests within the promotion
those of others, and the others viewin their interest towards promoting
your interest, i.e Mutual benefit. I think this is the nucleus of every
good moral system. and perhaps even of every good metaphysical
speculation necessary for people to belief ( i.e. Religion ).

IF a good metaphysical being should exist, then he should approve that.
And he should respect us when we say that he is otherwise incognito.
since he chose be lie behind curtains, for purpose best known for
himself, then we have no position to speak of him other than that of
him being generally good and support mutual benefit, Love , Happyess,
kindness, etc.........
