I still contend that Plato invented Socrates.

I still contend that Jesus/god was invented by mankind to control the population

To me this is the most likely story of Jesus:

  • Mary goes out to a party. People are drunk. She gets raped, and gets the preggers.

  • Because of where she is, the norm is arranged marriage and death penalty for infidelity.

  • Not wanting to be stoned to death she comes out lying "It's a miracle! A virgin birth!"

  • Jesus is born. Some random dudes visit with gifts (feeling guilty for raping her 9 months ago and causing all this trouble).

  • Jesus grows up hearing everyone around him calling him a miracle child

  • He tries to live a normal life and becomes a carpenter

  • He finds carpentry is hard and he can actually do better by just playing into his title of 'miracle child'. People will even give him free stuff just for his 'blessing'.

  • He performs some simple illusions to solidify peoples beliefs that he is divine and magical.

If anything is inaccurate in this please correct me, but I think this is the most logical origin story for Jesus.

And all of them white men, what are the odds?

EDIT: All but one, I guess. Still, pretty bad ratio.
