Myths 0_0

Why do people need myths? People need myths to explain what they do not know and to explain things to people that are too young to understand the truth or facts. I think that myths are very useful, especially when telling stories to children. They help when you want to tell the child what happen but they are too young to know or understand the whole story. They also help to tell stories, they can be very entertaining. They give something to believe in, for some people. For example, in some cultures, they use it as part of their religion. The myths give them something to believe in, someone or something to worship. They might use a myth to explain something, like the creation of the world; some religions believe that God created the world and made Adam and Eve, and Evil was the cause of us sin in our life. That would be a myth because although some religions believe this, it isn’t proven, therefore it’s a myth. Another religion that based their beliefs in myths, was the Greek and Romans, they had myths about how everything happen. They believed in many gods because of the myths they passed down.
