Censhorship was a good idea and Sola Scriptura is a bad idea.

Because it leads to religious fundamentalism while Catholicism, and Judaism with all respect, are mystery religions. In fact, it is physically impossible for a person to go to hell as Catholic.

Not symbolic but mythical and myth is real which makes the historical figure real instead a just the pretender he was.

Run that by me again. A myth is real? You mean there was a story about a mythological person? I'm not sure what you mean, so please expand your cryptic statement. What other myths are real? Robin Hood, King Arthur, Merlin, etc.? How do you establish that there was an historical character?

Myth is real myth is real myth is real.

No, I don't know your story about a mythical person but myth is real.

In this story water is intuition and so to walk on water is to go by intuition in everyday life instead of being torn between the left and right brain, if that is easier to understand. In other words, there is no subconscious mind left.

If the story is about someone walking on water there was someone walking on water. If there were two guys walking on water there were two guys walking on water. Why do you ask me if there was someone walking on water if the story tells us there was?
