    It is a little different when your origin story is very obviously a mediocre conman having his shitty cons described by multiple eye witness accounts and having your myths be 2000 years old with no first hand accounts.

        Like I said, it’s different when you have the actual daily journals of people calling it a con.

        Or his wife calling him a liar after he stuck his head in a hat to get his prophecies.

        Like, regardless of the fact that to religious types the age of the belief has value, it’s just a whole different level of obvious bullcrap beyond simply believing in the supernatural.
