      In many cultures. Christianity obviously but also the stoics, in Japanese mythology. Hinduism conflicted!

      Well, I kind of know what you mean, but I think this is a very narrow reading of Christianity ->

      1. God is in some sense literally a dead body hanging upon a piece of wood.

      2. Christianity early on fought a lot of battles about separating Jesus from "the flesh". ->

      Like a man. The humanity of Christ is important. Sometimes compared to a lamb symbolically too.

          But what did he do? He transcended it. The Christian narrative is full of symbolism abt transcending the body.

          He *perfected* it and *defeated* death. This is an extremely important distinction in the old theology. ->

          Yes! That's what I mean. Transhumanism & vampire fantasies are also abt perfecting the 'body' & defeating death.

          Trans-humanism and vampire fantasies seem to be about no longer being human (literally in the word in the former)
