Picking up on various postings, surely the bible story of Jesus could be a fabrication. One could draw a parallel between the "real"Jesus ( if he existed)and the Jesus of the bible by thinking of the distinction between the historical King Arthur, and the medieval "romance" version of Arthur - with the knights of the round table etc. Also, why is it that Jesus wasn't embraced by the Jews - wasn't that the point of his coming to Earth? A sceptic might conclude that the Chritian faith developed away from the Holy Lands because it was easy " to sell" the idea of a "real" Jesus to people who had no means of verifying the truth of the Jesus story.
