In true form, Stimbo, in the narrative I've been trying to use as a vehicle to describe the vehicle used -in- the narrative to Drich...a great deal has been done in that regard. Here we have a jewish god being sold to a gentile audience - he feeds the multitudes (make alot with a little...hey Drich..that mustard seed bit.....yup.) -including those who do not believe
-and still has more "bread" leftover, ostensibly for anyone else who may require it (which is all of us..so sayeth the narrative - in the desert of life).
Doublet, allusion and chorus combine to produce theology - as well as a passable tale for this theology to ride around on. Wonder of wonders.
(and isn;t it amusing to note, that depending on which version of this narrative one prefers - it follows an explanation of the beginning of resistance to "jesus' movement" - John is beheaded..etc..and almost immediately the jesus character makes appeals to a wider audience.)

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
