My thoughts? I prefer the thoughts of mythical Thor & Cthulu to mythical Jesus, but you be you.

There is a strong belief among historians, and I am not qualified to dispute it, but I pass it on. That Jesus was a real person, perhaps an itinerant rabbi, who did exist and was probably put to death. But many of those same historians also think, that he probably did not preach any of the things it is claimed in the bible that he preached. He was probably, a deep nationalist Jew, who preached in the existing prophetic tradition, against the falling away from fundamentalist standards, and against the monarchy, perhaps even making claims to being the heir to the throne of David himself.

There then seems have been a shadow figure, who wrote the first, now lost, gospel, which the writers of the biblical four, then plagiarized. And I am told that textural scholars are convinced that the biblical four, are copied from an earlier work, ( Though they also copy each other. ) and also that they can identify two figures, and lines of preaching, in the text. One the earlier, possibly the historical figure, who preached hard line nationalist and racist message, and the later liberal preachings, which have been the fictional inventions of the, now lost, original gospel. Who was perhaps, who knows, even a traveler to India.
