Quote:He is trying to sell/impose "Jesus" as the ultimate sun-god
Yes, indeed. He then proceeds to the bullshit story about feeding the multitude just to show that his boy still had his touch. I won't pretend to know what point the author was making with that story about jesus getting run out of "Nazareth." Maybe it was just his way of moving out onto a bigger stage as a plot device?
I also disagree about exodus. The purpose of that bit of bullshit is crystal clear.
