Well as you said his character is not consistent throughout the Bible (I wonder if maybe he was written by different humans
) but I imagine that plenty of people will write Campbell-style myths surrounding him as Christianity falls from its pedestal in this country. And I like heroes who fail (at least temporarily) because it feels much better when they snatch victory from the jaws of defeat.

Han Solo: Kid, I've flown from one side of this galaxy to the other, and I've seen a lot of strange stuff, but I've never seen *anything* to make me believe that there's one all-powerful Force controlling everything. 'Cause no mystical energy field controls *my* destiny. It's all a lot of simple tricks and nonsense.
