Exactly my point, Little Hawk.

The allegorical Christ myth was destroyed by the Christian institution to serve their earthly interests.

Christian mythological stories that were originally supposed to be regarded as allegory and metaphor were appropriated by the political institution of the church, and transformed into 'historical fact'.

The Christ of myth became a flesh and blood person identified with Jesus. Central to the tragedy of that misappropriation of the Christ myth, is the idea that Christ was originally supposed to come 'in man' because the Christ principle was potentially in every one of us.

Instead, this idea was changed to reflect the exclusivist teaching of church doctrine, which insisted that the Christ had come as a man.
