I like stories like thisthat say "well, in all likelihood Jesus was walking on ice" rather than "in all likelihood these stories are made up."
Many of these kinds of scenarios were communicated to me in Catholic school for some reason.

welli like to think that some myths might have a reasonable explanation that centuries of zealotry, or maybe simple oral story-telling, expanded beyond their original meaning and into some over-arching system of solid belief.
and, furthermore, i think that the lack of a basis in "reality" doesn't prevent a mythical system of belief from being intriguing in terms of scholarly or, for that matter, every-day interest.
in fact, i like to think that a variegated array of ridiculous beliefs can be seen as unifying, instead of separating and antagonizing.
although believing in all that shit is mad stupid.
