What is God's importance in Myths to Live By?

God is a force always just beneath the surface in Campbell's explanations of each mythology. Campbell keeps his examination of God as an attainable knowledge limited to his discussion of Zen and the discovery of the divinity that is common to the make-up of all men, and that which men share in common with nature. In his discussion of Christianity, God is criticized for telling men not to murder and then murdering and commanding wars himself, but the character of Jesus is praised highly for his gospel of peace, grace and generosity. In Hindu, Campbell gives similar praise to the characters Shakti and his son Ganesha as examples of the love of heaven descended to earth. The obviously preferred vision of God is that of the Mind at Large present and attainable to all of humanity.
