What exactly do you have against exiled hermits?
Oh, nothing at all. After all, one would expect them to be highly educated, fair-minded upstanding examples of pillars of society.
So, the scruffy, smelly individuals walk into my publishing office one day and say............
"Ahemmm, like I know there was no gold and riches in the town like we predicted but ahhh, welll lookie here. Boy, have we got something for you....these are genuine, yes you heard it, genuine scriptures that sort of washed into our cave after 300 years lying in the dead sea, and look here, it says, word of God! Now, like that's got to be real doesn't it?
After picking themselves out of the gutter following a very hasty exit from my office, they run into a guy wearing gaudy gold jewelry, sunglasses and white shoes.
"Yeah sure, I'll buy them off you...here's 3 Shekel, now nick off." Next thing, our illustrious charlatan is spruiking the scriptures to the authorities of the day and he knows that, in order to get a good price, he needs to sell the sizzle, not the sausage. So he comes up with this cleaver concept of
religion....
"You know gov, like they do over there in the neighboring continent so's they can control the people. And we just make up a name for a sort of iconic figurehead to be the face of the product, then, Bob's your uncle, we got our own religion like." .......
"Jesus Christ, that sounds good", says the official.
"There you go, great idea gov, we'll call the geezer Jesus Christ".And that's the story of the birth of Christianity
