I think Jesus was a hipnotiser
I think Jesus was a hipnotiser and all the things he did were tricks. I think the prophets used some narcotics.

Jesus was a fictional charactor, he never existed.

I think Elvis was abducted by alians. That why he make such great poetry. The guitar was a mind control weapon... but it need cocaine to work.
“A meritocratic society is one in which inequalities of wealth and social position solely reflect the unequal distribution of merit or skills amongst human beings, or are based upon factors beyond human control, for example luck or chance. Such a society is socially just because individuals are judged not by their gender, the colour of their skin or their religion, but according to their talents and willingness to work, or on what Martin Luther King called 'the content of their character'. By extension, social equality is unjust because it treats unequal individuals equally.” "Political Ideologies" by Andrew Heywood (2003)
I am not quite convinced on that account. Sure, nobody who was in a position to notice bothered to remark on all of the things that are supposed to have happened. However, that case is based on absence of evidence.
So sure, there must be quite a bit of BS in the story. Yet, there are a few things that we know to be accurate.
Fact: Herod existed. His actual grave was found in the 70's.
Fact: Pilate existed. The Romans were pretty good at keeping records as far as whom they put in charge of the provinces.
Lie: Feeding thousands of people from a picnic basket.
Lie: Walking on water.
Lie: Causing riots that nobody noticed.
Now, there were doubtless many itinerant preachers running around at the time. Apart from the general crap that was added to the stories over the centuries, I could see that some of the teachings may have had a basis in some of what those guys said.
Add a bit of midrash and there you go.

It really reminds me of Frank Herbert's Missionaria Protectiva tactics of the Bene Gesserit witch clan. In good sense, of course.

There is a reason I never respond to your flakey posts, Jesus as an actor ranks right up there. The only reason I'm responding now is because you put my name on it. Jesus as an actor, you gotta be kidding!!!!! Sober up and think about it.
In English we call Joshua Bar Yuseph a ' composite charactor' , he was made up from several sources; mostly fictional gods themselves, and maybe from a few itinerate preachers but no ONE real person, Paul of Tarsus used the composite for his mystical messiah. Paul never pretended it was a real person.

Depending on time and local culture, the story is ocassionally re-told by a group of followers of these mystical teachings, but the main one doing the work outwardly must be one guy. Then his surviving followers usually found a new religion, which unfortunately takes a life of it's own. But in the core, all major religions are the same, they describe the same things, teach reincarnation, and so on. It's quite impossible to all this progress like Jesus did in one incarnation. He just displayed it in a speeded up form, symbolically as the major milestones of his life.
Of course I'm not sure about what he did or didn't say and do, except of getting nailed on a cross, which lots of people did around that time. But I think we can agree that this legend is pretty much artificial and spreaded on purpose by people involved in the cause. Specially, by members of mystical sects, like Paul was. Mystical sects have inner cores to which they won't allow just anybody and Paul wrote some hints about that.

I read that issue of...(insert name of idiotic pop magazine) too. He totally is an actor, and that makes sense why he uses narcotics and has like his own spiritual guru that like totally teaches him all about homeopathy and mass hypnosis and stuff. He's also totally dreamy and likes Guess underwear. His turn-on's are killing lambs and water skiing. Turn-offs are like people that rat on him, and doubting Thomases.
