Throughout that entire post you simply made claims on how beneficial your philosophy is. Not once did you actually explain what the philosophy was or the logical pathways it took to gain these benefits.
My best attempt at deciphering what this philosophy entails are as follows:
You put yourself in the shoes of a "messiah" or "hero" so you can wonder what you would do in a similar situation and how you would assert your independence in a method beneficial to human society and to yourself. It also humanizes idols both real and fictional to the point where we no longer look at them in terms of awe and worship but simply lessons to be learned and targets to reach for.
In theory this would cause the individual following the philosophy to make increased efforts to be the best he can be. *However*, it should be noted that even the life stories of "idols" proven to exist are prone to being mixed with a substantial amount of truth stretching and in some cases outright fiction. Should an individual attempt to follow such an idol then they would be setting themselves up to fail and experience a sharp drop in self-esteem when they did.
I conclude that if this philosophy were to be used it could not be used on any idol that is associated with far-fetched tales of the supernatural... like Jesus.
