I align myself with Jesus Christ. That's why I am called a Christian. I try to live my life in accordance with His teachings. Jesus has made very real changes in my life. If you wish to deny His existance and call Him my imaginary friend, very well.

Let's take a look at who you align yourself with. You call yourself a Campbellite, in reference to Joseph Campbell. I found it quite interesting to learn a little about him. He listed several men as having a profound impact in his life.

One of the most influential men in Campbell's life was James Joyce. Joyce appears to have been an alcoholic, who according to Carol Loeb Shloss in her 2003 book was also invloved in incest with his daughter. Shloss cites Joyce's son Stephen as her source. Joyce also appears to have been a bum, unable or unwilling to hold a job to support his family. He received finiancial support from wealthy women.

Another influence on Campbell was Thomas Mann. When Mann's diary was unsealed in 1975, it was found that he was involved in pederasty.

Then there was Carl Jung who admitted to a split personality. Jung recalled offering small pieces of paper with writings of a secret language to a tiny manaquin he himself had carved. Jung also believed in flying saucers.

Also influential on Campbell was Sigmund Freud who referred to himself as a Godless Jew. It was a well known fact that Freud was a cocaine addict. He also confessed to having sexual desires for his own mother.

We cannot overlook Heinrich Zimmer a Hindu mythologist, Wilhelm Stekel a suicidal psychologist, or Jiddu Kirshnamurti who had hallunications of his dead sister and mother.

A homosexual child molester, an incestous drunken bum, a cocaine addicted atheist, a psychologist with split personalities, a Hindu mythologist, and a man who saw dead people were the men who influenced the man you align yourself with.

I found all this information on Wekipedia. If you wish to follow Campbell's teachings, that's your choice, but as for me and my house, we will follow the LORD.
