I have no problem with the creation of a new myth for whatever purpose to 
which it need be put. However I would tend to say that the Christian myth
is pretty flexible and hard to exhaust here possibility-wise. Equal in
importance to the naturalistic, blood sacrifice and expiation part of the
myth is the SUPERnatural, salvational part, namely the resurrection of the
body for us all at the end of time as signified by Christ's arising from
the dead and bodily ascension into Heaven. P is very fond I believe of the
idea of the resurrection of the body, mentions it more than once. Rise
Gottfried! You are mankind. Don't ask me what any of this means. It is all
in deep encryption.
