I know what Dave means, its a pretty shitty story that tries to explain why their sainted leader was executed.
It would be like history written by the branch davidians after wacco.
For this reason I suspect that jesus was a real person, (despite the lack of any contemporaneaus evidence), simply because of the way people justify things to themselves.
It seems to me that this wuld be exactly the sort of bullshit people in a cult would make up if their leader was killed, martydom is a powerfull thin.

You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
