It still does not make it true that humans have super powers or talk to the "otherworld". Plato's Apology mentions real people and real places but that does not make the Greek or Roman god's real. The original book Peter Pan mentions the city of London but that does not mean little boys can fly like that in reality.
It still remains that men DON'T magically pop out of dirt. It takes TWO sets of DNA to lead to a new pregnancy and humans do not survive the death myth as the bible would have you believe.
What this death myth suppose to mean to you?
(color mine)
What part of "death myth" do you not understand?
If you do to a human being what the death story of Jesus IN REAL LIFE you would DIE, there would be no more you, you do not survive death, there is no such thing as a "soul" or "spirit", when your brain dies you die, no more you.
In all of antiquity humans made up all sorts of hero deities, Jesus is simply another hero story. Everyone loves the underdog motif. Luke Skywalker defeating Darth Vader. The only difference between the two is one is believed to be real when it is not, and the other is rightfully accepted as si fi fiction.
Humans invent all sorts of god/s, deities because it is merely projecting a desire of continuing. There is no such thing as "immortality". In 5 billion years our species will have long gone extinct, our sun will either expand or collapse and kill our planet and our solar system will die and the galaxy and universe will go on with NO RECORD that humans were here and the god myths and religions will die when our species goes extinct regardless.
