Hercules may have lived. He may have wrestled a loin, and may have been a hero. He probably wasn't the son of Zeus. Legend has a way of making heros divine in nature instead of focusing on their messages and philosophies.
IMHO, who gives a crap if Jesus was a part of something supernatural? It's just a distraction from a brilliant philosopher. I'd be pissed is people started insisting that Gandhi was a deity or Martin Luther King Jr. was an angel. The message is what's important, not the nature of the source of the message.
