Did Jesus want to create a poli-theism religion?

[LinuxGal]

One of the earliest and one of the few historical passages in all of the Gospels is Mark 3:21-22:

And when his family heard it, they went out to seize him, for people were saying, “He is beside himself.” 22 And the scribes who came down from Jerusalem said, “He is possessed by Be-el′zebul, and by the prince of demons he casts out the demons.”

Ergo, Jesus' own family thought that he had "lost it"; the Jews thought that he was possessed.  Jesus, like Jim Jones & David Koresh, was probably psychotic.

Also Mark 3 (verse 11): And unclean spirits, when they saw him, fell down before him, and cried, saying, Thou art the Son of God.

So we're left with the task of judging what's historical in Mark and what was not.  For what it's worth, the scroll was written about forty years after the events depicted.  It'd be like someone in Generation Z writing a gospel today about Reagan being shot for our sins in 1981.
