The romans were killing a hell of alot of nameless judeans at the time. Putting down a rebellion tends to create alot of martyrs. It is completely without doubt, though, that messianic judaism proposed such a savior before any actual man born in 0ad could come along to fit that mold, however much they had to finesse it to make the events work. One of the criticisms of mythicism that I think hits home the most, is that while it may be true, it's trivially true.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
