[MD] A theist appropriates MoQ

[francisco albano]

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.

May Yahweh look kindly on you, and give you his peace!  (Num. 6:24-26)

Good Yule to you Paco, hopefully at this time of the Solstice (celebrated by
countless cultural traditions in a myriad of dress) you find the warmth of
family and friends.

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?
