Was Jesus of Nazareth a religious loon?

They were also followed by Enterprise D and its crew who saved Jesus at the last moment but not before Borg badly wounded Jesus. So they beamed Jesus to the Enterprise, and while he was recuperating, Riker dressed up as Jesus and did all of his miracles using futuristic Starfleet technology.

Then weeks (if not months) after the incident, Jesus woke up from a coma in sickbay, he learned about what they have done and said "What?! I can't do all that stuff and miracles! I'm just an apocalyptic preacher!" and then they apologized to him and beamed him down for crucifixion.

I mean can you prove I'm not right?

Yes. I've read the NT and even Rick Berman's drek wasn't that awful.

Quote:When his family heard about this, they went to take charge of him, for they said, "He is out of his mind." (Mark 3:21)

Of course, one must wonder if the Angel really did visit Mary, the supposed mother of Jesus, how she could have ever drawn the conclusion that her son had "lost it"??

The tradition that Mark recorded is almost certainly authentic, in that it is early, and per the criterion of "embarrassment", it is likely historical.  It would also explain why Jesus, after going to Jerusalem, "stood out", by being an audacious, eccentric preacher, which is why both the Jewish and Roman authorities noticed him, and ultimately, had him arrested and then executed.

It's a recurring theme throughout the NT. Mary gets knocked up by God AllMighty and then:
 - Is surprised by the miraculous birth
 - Is surprised that her brat knows scripture
 - Is surprised that he can work miracles

It's almost like somebody took a bunch of unrelated stories and pasted them together without editing them. Syncretion if you like big fancy-sounding words. By the standard of "OMG! Panic The Son of God isn't acting like a mortal!" this is almost certainly a later addition and a load of bollocks.
