I still don't understand why anyone would make up a person like the Biblical Christ..

[Minimalist]

but if you don't believe in a historical twelve disciples than the accounts of the disciples really don't mean anything do they?

Did you ever notice that these "disciples" ( always twelve but the names seem to change) seem to play the part of the Greek Chorus? Their function is to say:

"Holy Shit, Lord....we can't believe you did that!"


You would think that after witnessing a few miracles these bozos would catch on but they never do. They always seem surprised when the godboy pulls off a magic trick. Magicians always have a busty assistant



to distract the crowd and go "TA-DA" when they pull off a trick.
