I didn't use the term magical....
It was repulsive, and defiling to most people at that time. Obviously no one understood it then. And most don't understand, or even care about it now.
No matter any understanding or not, it was unique and unprecedented. Not anything that would attract followers to Jesus. And a major stumbling block
for any "made up story to control the masses" theorists.
And, no bias necessary to point out obvious shortcomings in a contrived narrative to woo followers! Any junior detective could see that blaring blunder
a mile away.
