THE HISTORICITY OF JESUS

I am not unique, in the assumption that the following would need to be true in order for the myth to originate:

– a jewish preacher existed

– he had followers (disciples)

– the temple event turned him into a problem.

– he was crucified for creating that problem.

– his ‘strategy’ was adopted by his followers (Saul)

I suspect also that:

– the betrayal occurred – but i can see that being added.

– ‘love expansion’ argument was his innovation and an important one.

And the rest evolved from there.

That is all that is needed for the formation of the entire mythos.

THE EVOLUTION AND THE CONSEQUENCES

– The old testament was added to give the character legitimacy in historical context.

– The single event was integrated into the then-evolving sun-god cults dominant in the empire but with egyptian, roman, and persian variations. In other words, the new-jews produced a jewish version of the sun god mythos.

– The sun god mythos was turned against the empires rather than assisting people in integrating into those empires.

– This strategy of undermining the empires from within through a resistance movement by the women and the underclasses was more successful in the period where empires were powerful.

– The muslims evolved from a christian cult, and their strategy was more effective in the period when the empires were weak from the plague and the persian – byzantine wars.

– The Marxist (jewish), postmodernist (christian), and islamist(muslim) techniques evolved as resistance movements – in no small part due to a fear of the darwinian/spencerian/pareto-weber-durkheim/nietzchean/maxwellian revolution. And were conceived as a resistance and rebellion movement (Jewish marxism), a method of undermining the empire in period of weakness (christian postmodernism), and an outright attack on the great civilizations of modernity by invasion, territory claiming (temples/churches), reproduction (depopulation), and terrorism(warfare).

– The answer to the ancient world and the modern is simply to preserve civilization and prevent jewish and marxist, christian and postmodernism, and muslim and islamicist dark ages, just as we prohibited the communist revolution, and just as the romans tried during the christian prosecutions.

HISTORICITY

So far as i can tell, scholarly opinion on the historical figure seems to coalesce on a preacher (storyteller), baptism, followers, temple event, crucifixion.

This could have been a very, very, minor person, and the events only known to followers, and much like Arthur or Gilgamesh, continually embellished for the purpose of claiming greater wisdom and authority to the speaker, embellished by expansion into a prophet, embellished through the appropriation of the various old world sun god myths, until it was able to spread reliably through anchoring (replacing ) larger earlier figures, rather than originating a new narrative.

So by appropriating the sun god cult story that had been evolving from its oldest form in egypt to its persian form (mithras) to its third iteration in the roman for (sol invictus) it could turn the sun god cuts from positives that assisted people in integrating into the ancient empires, into a resistance movement that sought to destroy those empires.

And without the licensing of the rebellion by constantine, and ending the persecution of rebels, and the forcible conversion of rome to it later, and the closure of the schools, and the collapse of rome eighty years later, the project would not have been successful.

And we might have been weakened by the plagues, but never been defeated by the muslims and never had such a dark age, and the spread of abrahamic ignorance across the entire old world.
