> In the Christian mythos, Jesus *died*

Just for a couple of days. Then he was wandering around and doing stuff.
And then he was puppeteering Paul all about the place, and (as the story
goes) has been doing similar things all through until today.

Elijah raised one, Elisha raised two, Jesus raised Lazarus and couple
others (I think) himself. Jesus did it all by himself, apparently, is what
made him unique.

Hey, Jesus does whatever he likes. He's God, after all.
