I mean would you not rather be in the cult ran by an actual God than in someone's who is not a God?

Because Jesus didn't exist, so his inventors used the extant (but dwindling) cult of John to give their cult a false legitimacy.

Well, that's a good Doylist explanation.

A Watsonian explanation would likely point out that this little event got in the way of John and Jesus doing much.

When I think about the stranger parts in the Bible, I tend to look for both explanations, if only because it makes shit more interesting.

And, yes, I did choose that one specifically because it belongs to my local, The Art Institute, which also has a few other paintings by the same artist covering the whole beheading saga.
