• The Question: How do religious myths get started anyway & what’s the big deal?
• The Problem: If religious people are getting it wrong, others will miss out on reality.
• The Informing Text: In Luke 4, Jesus preaches a sermon in the town where he grew up, attacking the racism, self-righteousness, & nationalism of the hearers, enraging them to the point that they attempted to throw him off a cliff.
• The Big Idea: The myths that compel people to reject Jesus are based in 4 types of selfishness:

1. Control
2. Greed
3. Familiarity
4. Comfort
