When he was executed for being a public annoyance, his followers removed his body from the tomb and made everyone believe he resurrected and went to heaven.
Sounds a bit conspiracy theoryist to me.
Imho, it makes more sense to think the miracles were made up somehow and never actually happened than to think they were all staged in some sort of elaborate hoax.
Furthermore Jesus' disciples willingly died horrible deaths for Him. I don't see them having done so if they thought he was a fraud.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
