Actually, does it not add another level of putting Jesus on a pedestal above everyone else?
It changes the equation when comparing Jesus to John Perry (indicating that Jesus' suffering was greatly heroic after all), but perhaps intensifies the "Alas, somehow it seems greater for a hero to have steel skin and godlike powers."
(Btw I'm one of the abovementioned Christians. Just thought I'd point out that the article's point is not greatly changed.)
