    as far as bible theories that will piss off the local churchies goes, this is almost as good as “rib was a poor translation, eve was made of adams penis bone and that’s why humans don’t have them”

      I like watching them get pissed and flustered and then asking them if he wasn’t a faith healer.

      I know. I shouldn’t be an ass, and it’s the “grifter” part they take issue with…. But it’s too easy.

      In any case, from the perspective of contemporary mainstream Judaism, he was just another rando Jewish mystic grifting the rubes.

      As a side note: contrary to popular belief, none of the disciples started as particularly broke- they were by and large successful businessmen.
