Pachydermaboxus
Secular interpretation of all religions as different representations of the same phenomenon. Often adopted as a belief system. Popular with agnostics and former atheists. Usually linked to a socially liberal world view that promotes interpersonal relationships and education as the path to peace. Also known as the Elephant in a Box Theory.
The mythology of Pachydermaboxus is as follows:
There is a metaphysical room in which there is no light. In the middle of this metaphysical room is a metaphysical box full of holes. Within the metaphysical box is a metaphysical elephant. All human beings enter this room at least once in their lives. Many find the box. Many do not. Of those that find the box, some reach in and feel the elephant's ear. Some reach in and feel the elephant's tail. Some reach in and feel the elephant's foot. Some reach in and feel the elephant's trunk. Some reach in and feel nothing at all. All human beings enter this room at least once in their lives, and no matter what they experience, upon departing the room everyone says, That is God.
