To be fair, though, there is a state of grace imposed in there to force everyone to be polite. Everywhere else has that brake off. 
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Well, to answer your question, they wanted to avoid that whole messy puberty thing as well as his trips to Caesarea for spring break with the co-eds.

It's all in the missing Gospel According to Biff, Jesus' childhood best friend.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

He became (in)famous for his shitty pick-up lines, because "hey baby, I come twice" and "want to feel the warmth of god inside you" just come across as creepy and desperate. On the other hand, it was springtime in the mideast, what else was there to do except fuck a weird guy?
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

Wow. That was exceptionally unintelligible, even for you.

Dammit, now I've got Carl Douglas stuck in my head!

Any of that could be true I suppose. The premise I started on was "What if Jesus wasn't the Son of God, but actually a descendant of Kind David."
Though I generally believe nothing in the Bible, it does state in one of the Gospels that Joseph is descended from David, and according the Jewish belief the Messiah was said to come from the line of David.
There are so many inconsistencies in the Bible that I had a lot of ammo to work with as I shaped the story.
