Having listened to Carrier talk about Paul, my bet is that the Holy Spirit is the celestial Jesus Paul was talking about. Carrier, if I understand correctly, maintains that all references from Paul to Jesus the man are within forgeries. So to accommodate this celestial force, we ended up with a spirit. That last bit is my own estimate.

What does it do? It's trying to get back to its own mythology. It hopes each time that the next leap will be the leap home.
