Jesus was invented?

[Philippus Flavius Homovallumus]

The idea that Jesus was invented, or that he was multiple people (the "theory" doing the rounds last year) is pretty silly.

If for no other reason than that there were LOTS of "Messiahs" knocking around, much easier to pick one to base your story off than invent a new one.

Whether he was born "Joshua" or did everything in the Gospels is a separate question, but the claim he was "invented" does not hold up to Ockham's Razor.

Not so weird if you want to pacify a region. Consider the confusion over the 'sword of Christ', it's ambiguity can mean a whole lot of things. Could it have been the sword of the messias originally? I think that's possible.

Still silly to invent one.

Oh - and if Titus' route across Judea maps closely to that taken by Jesus, it would be because Jesus was following the route of Joshua in his conquest, from the Old Testament

It causes a lot of confusions on the period of Carolingian's deus bellum, and the bible was rewritten after it after all. Maybe not an 'invention' of the Romans, I wouldn't know, but what's new to propaganda, roman senate kinda became the vatican we know today
