Jewish Mythology
I was overjoyed to note that the so-called heroes of Judaism were remarkably human. I was glad to note that the characters were flawed, whether it was David’s promiscuity, or Moses’ overly humble nature. For once, in these stories, God was the only Super human., unlike the myths of other religions. This was not like the incredible strength of Hercules in Greek/Roman myths, or the miracles of Jesus Christ. Yes, Moses did have crazy moments like the Red Sea, but overall, his character was more rounded and flawed than the temprament of Jesus.

Interesting comment. I notice the same thing about the Jewish figures. Remember that they are also figures from Christianity.
