It seems to me that the stories of Jesus' supposed miracles and rising from the dead are all a big distraction from his teachings. I don't see how walking on water or raising the dead has anything to do with teaching people to love one another. I don't see how any promise of eternal life or threat of eternal damnation has anything to do with teaching compassion for those less fortunate. It all seems like a big distraction from the profoundly, life-altering spiritual message. Why do we hold on to these myths so tightly? I mean, sure, they're interesting stories, but they don't really feel like religion, philosophy, or spirituality in any way. Thoughts?
