If someone in my town was walking around, raising corpses and healing lepers I might mention it on my diary as that is clearly abnormal. No one said anything for almost a fucking century. No correspondence between historians on what would have been fucking historical. Nothing. If Jesus existed, he was just some goddamn nobody that no one deemed important enough to mention until the church made him into a superhero. That is the myth, magic jesus who heals blind people never existed ed.
The magical jesus is obviously a myth.
But I still feel that there might've been some david koresh type charismatic wacko that it is based on.
If you watch interviews with branch davidian members they believe that the evil cult leader was divine and that his killing by the 'man' was validation for their beliefs.
Imagine if this had happened in a more primitive era with these blank eyed believers going around spouting this sort of crap, couldnt christianity be the end result?
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
