Yeah, we did; and I'm sorry that what was meant to be a joke (about you
and Paul+) is opening this can of worms.  But what perhaps is open for
debate, though, is the use of myth to attempt to relate in concrete
terms a reality that is less than concrete (the reality of the mystical
and supernatural; the concepts of truth and right/wrong; the fact that
whether we realize it or not, we interact on a plane that extends far
beyond what we can see/touch/hear/feel/taste, and need to somehow be
able to relate that to others in a way they can understand; etc.).  As
CS Lewis puts it, "myth" is the only vehicle to do this.
