There came a point some decades after the crucifixion when the unfulfilled return became an embarrassment that had to be dealt with. I doubt Jesus' immediate followers had in mind your brilliant fruit fly analogy. They may have been dumb enough to think Jesus meant what he allegedly said. Silly flies! What's really funny is your contention that it's us who stop thinking when presented with such a verse, when in fact that verse has given you Christians an excuse to stop thinking about the truth or falseness of the prophecy for centuries. Talk about parroted clichés!
Well, if you count The time spent with Paul He did return in very short order even by a fruit fly's standard.
Paul also called out god for being unjust and not good, many bible characters called out god for being a lair and no good in general.
Then also jesus sacrafice was so small if that, not to mention the name and were he was born because that is really superficial. Going to that
he could have been born into a slave camp or any place or beaten on a daily basis but no he live a normal life. Then on top of that jesus spent
1 day of getting tortured then on top of that sparticus 70bce and his compatriots were also tortured and sacrificed on a cross the fact is
jesus sacrifice just shows how pointless it is to die for nothing.
