Your ability to tailor your pieces so cogently in the midst of your grief is sadly enviable. Therapy and solace take many forms.

Maybe a Christianity with 12 gods, 6 women and 6 men would be ok.....

At this point in history I do not think Hinduism will work. The genie is out of the bottle. Absent a metaphysical myth of God-Man the very best humans have reached in history prior to Christianity is that multitude of Divinities. Divinities not incarnating as human. Not suffering as a human. Not crucified as a human. Nor resurrecting. My fascination is the Messiah myth made us quite different in an already different Western world. The myth of total human equality by virtue of human being is only datable after Constantine not before. One may follow Nietzsche in outrage that a myth and not rationality is master of man but even the Anti-Christ had to admit he himself was shaped by the myth. In fact what makes Nietzsche so interesting is he tells us he wanted to be be Jesus. A hero.
