If Jesus had been invented it then would have gone something like this.
"Good news Christ has risen!"
"Who?"
"Jesus Christ was executed a few years and rose again?"
"No I don't remember him around these here parts"
"Perhaps you just forgot about him. it was about 20 years ago?"
"No I think I would remember him."
And that would have killed the movement in it's tracks.

Come all ye faithful joyful and triumphant.
