Where did the Jesus myth come from?

[Minimalist]

I think you are probably referring to this particular bullshit story in Luke 4:

Jesus Rejected at Nazareth

14 Jesus returned to Galilee in the power of the Spirit, and news about him spread through the whole countryside. 15 He was teaching in their synagogues, and everyone praised him.

16 He went to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, and on the Sabbath day he went into the synagogue, as was his custom. He stood up to read, 17 and the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. Unrolling it, he found the place where it is written:

18 “The Spirit of the Lord is on me,
because he has anointed me
to proclaim good news to the poor.
He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners
and recovery of sight for the blind,
to set the oppressed free,
19 to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.”[a]

20 Then he rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant and sat down. The eyes of everyone in the synagogue were fastened on him. 21 He began by saying to them, “Today this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.”

22 All spoke well of him and were amazed at the gracious words that came from his lips. “Isn’t this Joseph’s son?” they asked.

23 Jesus said to them, “Surely you will quote this proverb to me: ‘Physician, heal yourself!’ And you will tell me, ‘Do here in your hometown what we have heard that you did in Capernaum.’”

24 “Truly I tell you,” he continued, “no prophet is accepted in his hometown. 25 I assure you that there were many widows in Israel in Elijah’s time, when the sky was shut for three and a half years and there was a severe famine throughout the land. 26 Yet Elijah was not sent to any of them, but to a widow in Zarephath in the region of Sidon. 27 And there were many in Israel with leprosy[b] in the time of Elisha the prophet, yet not one of them was cleansed—only Naaman the Syrian.”

28 All the people in the synagogue were furious when they heard this. 29 They got up, drove him out of the town, and took him to the brow of the hill on which the town was built, in order to throw him off the cliff. 30 But he walked right through the crowd and went on his way.

Whoever wrote Luke assumed that "Nazareth" was an actual city, complete with a good-sized population and a "synagogue." In short, the author knew fuck all about early first century Galilee. Perhaps by the time this nonsense was written there was a town on the spot but archaeological evidence from the site shows no sign of any sort of actual "town" when xtians claim their godboy was there. At best, the noted xtian scholar Stephen Pfann has found a single-family farm. After the bar Kochba revolt when Jews were thrown out of Judaea we have evidence that some settled at Nazareth in the mid 2d century. Prior to that, we have only tombs and some pottery shards and it is fairly easy to see that the tombs could have belonged to the upper classes of the nearby city of Sepphoris.

In recent years xtians have tried to get around the findings of archaeology and history (the name Nazareth appears no where in the OT or in Josephus in spite of his detailed travelogue of the area over which he led his army) by making "Nazareth" smaller and smaller. "It's not a "city" just a small hamlet." Well, a small hamlet would not have a fucking synagogue for their godboy to visit and it would also have a population which was all interrelated to the point that no one would ask “Isn’t this Joseph’s son?” He would have been related to most of them yet they expect us to believe that they were going to throw a kinsmen off a cliff - there are no cliffs at the site -
because they were so angry.

Just a silly story to serve as a backdrop for whatever the author was trying to say.....like so much of the fucking bible.
