An accident of history, really. In a crowded marketplace of gods there was an escalation of divine nature. Ultimately, the idea was never meant to convince people that a god existed or that the idea of gods even made sense, it was for in house consumption by god botherers as to which god had the bigger superpeener.
I guess it's successful framing in a religious economy? Same with the whole judas bit. Meanwhile nuts (and non nuts, fwiw) are stuck on an argument over whether it actually happened or happened as written (yet another appeal to objectivism over the primacy of consciousness) as though it's some debate on the existence of gods - but it isn't. It's about the development and mistakes of an explicitly religious assertion and the knots that people have historically tied their scrotums into to maintain it.
