That first scripture got me thinking. I honed in on, "But refuse and avoid irreverent legends (profane and impure and godless fictions, mere grandmothers’ tales) and silly myths, and express your disapproval of them. Train yourself toward godliness (piety), [keeping yourself spiritually fit]." So does that mean we don't teach our children stupid silly stories like the Anansi stories I just bought for them to listen to? =) I thought when I bought it, oh great! Anansi! They liked the stories when I read it to them and listening to stories is a good thing for them. As I listened to it with them though, I was amazed at how ridiculous it all was. I'd have to go back and butt in every two seconds correcting something the storyteller said! Guess my great idea wasn't founded in truth. That myth part also has me reconsidering the Greek myths...
