Would I be right to say  theology is based on facts of history to mythology based on fictional assumptions. Given this thought leads me to believe it another way,Theology is to Christianity as mythology is to satanism. One leads to eternal life the other to eternal damndation.

I would not really say that mythology is based on fictional assumptions though I would agree they refer to Satanism.....    Satanism is not fiction....    it would be so much better if it was.

Well noted, so if I were to term fictional, as in the characters  of mythology,would that make it easier to see the point. One dictionary  defines theology as the study of God. Mythology is the study of myths, a set of stories or beliefs about a particular person, institution,or situation,especially when exaggerated or fictitious.

Am I simplistic in saying that our theology is based on what we believe the Bible teaches?

How we come to those beliefs is another question. That is, upon what do we predicate our beliefs.

The traditions of man = mythological superstition. 

Mark 7:13 (AV)
13 Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.

Without the word of God we are all lost. Blind. Hopeless.
