Follow up: By the way, I take to be ZMM and Lila principally novels/stories/myths, and not philosphical treatises. Some will use this to help them understand life, reality, knowledge, value. How inclusive to their taste, I don't know. SOMists will probably say the SOM narrated in some story is the highest intellectualk pattern. Thus, the discussions. Paco May Yahweh bless you and keep you! May Yahweh let his face shine on you, and be gracious to you! May Yahweh look kindly on you, and give you his peace! (Num. 6:24-26)

Since your "theist" spin on the MOQ (if only Platt could be so honest, and Ham so forthcoming) is centered around the Occidental myths, let me ask, would you say that White Buffalo Calf Woman, Avaloketeshvara, Isis/Osiris, Odin (to name just a few) are also equally substitutable in your prose? Or is the "Quality made flesh" an actual-literal event that occurred for the Jews but for no other group? To restate, are you suggesting a Campbellian-like mythological configuration to the MOQ, or are you suggesting that the "Christians" alone got it right?
