Yeah, because normal people can be crucified, hung from a cross for an entire day in the desert, ride the beam all the way down when someone comes along and cuts down the pole, pull the spikes out of his own hands and feet by himself, all after having been savagely beated earlier that day, and THEN, hop on a horse and ride at a hard gallop for several hours.
All without suffering more than a few weeks of rest and some scars.
Yeah, thoroughly human.
