I guess what I don't get... the thing that Carl Fink so dislikes that I can't get myself worked up about... is this thing about euhemerism.

Let's see. If it's possible for mortals to become immortals, to become gods, then how does that make the gods any less impressive or majestic? Am I missing something? Is it the "every prophet is a bum in his hometown" phenomena?
