God and Spiderman are two different things. Spiderman is obviously a created fictional character, while God may actually have validity especially when looking at it philosophically and spiritually.

One can look at Comparative Religion; a field of study that analyzes the similarities between different religions (customs, beliefs, symbols). Tied into that, there's a documentary online called 'Symbols of an Alien Sky', where it relates the various religious symbols to the Plasma interactions (tying the folk legends to natural phenomena). Perhaps also look at the studies on consciousness, such as noetics and the effects of prayer and meditation on the human mind. There's a ton of different angles to look to.Bill Wiltrack wrote:.

One can look at anthropology, folklore and legend, for example, Joseph Campbell's work, Hero with a Thousand Faces where it relates to the similarities among archetypal hero figures. Indeed, Jesus may be a precursor - one of thousands - of Spiderman. No human tradition, oral or written, however salutary its effects on the culture wherein it resides, proves or even indicates the physical, or extrinsic, existence of any part of its narrative content.WanderingLands wrote: One can look at Comparative Religion; a field of study that analyzes the similarities between different religions (customs, beliefs, symbols).

I think Skip is saying that Jesus is a hero figure in the tradition of Hercules, Spider-man and Superman. Even though larger than life, such figures always turn out to be mythical, regardless of their impact upon society.Bill Wiltrack wrote:.
