I have always questioned my beliefs. I wasn't raised in church or taught a
             specific religion, but I was always told to believe in God and Jesus and to pray.
             And, of course, there were morals thrown in. I tried reading and understanding
             the Bible and always ended up putting it down, discouraged. I knew, however,
             that I believed in one supreme being, God. This wasn't because this is what I
             have always been told to do, I just have always known that He exists and I have
             always prayed to Him. I just knew that somewhere out there, a religion existed
             that was perfect for me, that believed in everything that I did, or could. I needed

             stories. I only saw the details and how they all differed. Then, just as I began
             this class, I thought that maybe it could be possible that all systems of belief or
             religions worship the same thing, whether they would admit it or not. I just
             couldn't figure out how the stories became so different.
             When I first read Campbell, I couldn't grasp the concept of the monomyth.
             After rereading and having my questions answered by my instructor, I finally got
             it. The details are not important, they are not history, they are not fact. The
             whole purpose of myth is the symbolism that it contains. T...
