“O that you, O God, would slay the wicked one! Then even the bloodguilty men will certainly depart from me, Who say things about you according to [their] idea; They have taken up [your name] in a worthless way—your adversaries. Do I not hate those who are intensely hating you, O Jehovah, And do I not feel a loathing for those revolting against you? With a complete hatred I do hate them. They have become to me real enemies.
Search through me, O God, and know my heart. Examine me, and know my disquieting thoughts, And see whether there is in me any painful way, And lead me in the way of time indefinite.”
– Psalms 139:19-24, NWT
The word myth has been debased and cheapened in modern usage; it’s often used to refer to something false, a lie. But this use misses the deepest function of myth, which is to lend narrative order to apparently disconnected bits of information, the way constellations group impossibly distance stars into tight, easily recognizable patterns that are simultaneously imaginary and real. Psychologists David Feinstein and Stanley Krippner explain, “Mythology is the loom on which [we] weave the raw materials of daily experience into a coherent story.’ “
