There is one problem with thinking all cosmogonies or salvation stories are only metaphor. It excludes the possibility of revelation. What if a divine intelligence did actually choose to reveal itself?

The Buddha and Socrates rightly doubted man-made gods and myths. They also knew if the divine didn’t exist and we’re left to our own thoughts, then how can we really know that we know anything? Reason alone fails us. Buddha and his followers sought freedom by silencing all thought in meditation. Socrates’ followers said life and truth can only make sense if there is a divine logos, a supreme thought or reason, somewhere out there—though they didn’t know if it actually existed.

Upon this scene, during the reign of Augustus Caesar, comes the Logos made flesh. The supreme, divine Thought made as you and me. Revealing himself to humanity.
