Due to a lack of decent Internet access, one community believed in a Jesus that was different from the next. Some believed he was Divine, and some held him like Hercules, but a more tragic figure. It would be later that all of these would be brought together to accept a single story, weeding out the bad bits here and there.
Would internet access have made any difference, though? After all, the internet hasn't resulted in a unified Christianity where everyone believes the same things.

You mean Maria isn't a genuine name from the time of Jesus?
