I like the subtle implication in that the line “There is rarely any good to be had in raising the dead” appears above the good man cradling a baby; apparently, one of the few times it is good to raise the dead is when the dead were too young to die.
Stig has a good point.
Also….The sure poetry of the myth, up to now,
kept me from commenting on the last few pages.
I just had to keep reading, no waiting….
But there where two really funny lines in this one…so yeah, I commented.
But not on them, cause I got distracted. Whatever.
Yay for converted politicans, raising the dead (only sometimes), and embellishments.
….which makes it 3 funny lines. Ehh….
Until the baby raised has a terrible, tragic, life, and great pain left as a legacy. And then you think “Wow, I don’t know if the Creator has a ‘Grand Plan’ for all things, but I just realized *I* sure as hell don’t!’.
Right after I came to that realization, I stopped mind-controlling my followers…
Certainly quite the Jesus retelling.
I love the part about the politicians!
It is easy to convert politicians. Just have the priests tell their followers that the politician is appointed by God.

Okay, this made even my wife laugh. Converting politicians; quite the trick. And hard to keep them converted. They tend to backslide SO easily.
I’ve always wondered why Jesus raised the dead if they were already in a better place.
@Biddo van Oduk: Narrative misfortune syndrome?
Converted to what?
