It's not dumb, remember, "there are no facts, only interpretations." In any case, it amkes sense in a general way anyway, of like a messiah figure the Boss becomes. She's also regarded as the Mother of Special Forces, if you want to get into pre-monotheistic or neo-pagan, Wiccan, maternal stuff I'm ramblign at this point. But one oculd make the case that she's definitely revered as a messiah figure by the Patriots, the early members of which could be seen like the Apostles such as Paul, seeing the unfair death of a good person and deciding to influence the world using that person's teachings (early history of the Catholic Church) before becoming the most powerful entity in the world, a de facto authority and corrupt (like the CHurch in the Middle Ages). Of course, in any religion or cult of personality, there's bound to be splits, with Big Boss as a kind of twisted Judas and Lucifer of sorts. He was basically a follower of the Boss, until he split with Zero and Cipher, taking up an asture existence with MSF in Colombia. In fact, I could make the case that Big Boss (Or Jack) himself is a sort of fallen messiah figure himself. After Peace Walker, he rejects the Boss, thinking in the end she "betrayed" everything she taught him, and starting the seeds of the image he had rejected when Zero built it for him. He started callign himself "Big Boss" more openly, already had amassed a bunch of followers in MSF and the Sandinistas who would pretty much nuke a country if he sugegsted it. And after XOF destroyed Mother Base, he fell into a coma, analogy to Jesus rising form the dead?, but at this point was swallowed up in his own legend that to save his skin from the many enemies the mere image of Big Boss had conjured up, went alogn with Zero's plans, including the previously unthinkable act of having one of his best men carved up as a decoy and serve as a legendary soldier, whileJack himself went into hiding to build his visionary utopia. Just realized it's late and need to sleep, good night.
