1.) A person or group spread the Jesus myth during the time he was said to live. Unlikely since the Romans would've quashed it in a second. 2.) The myth was created shortly after his purported death and his life was, therefore, back dated. Unlikely since there were documented people such as Thomas who claimed to have spent time with him and travel the world. That is, Thomas isn't a myth so if Jesus is Thomas had to be in on the deception and backdating. 3.) The myth was created much after his claimed death. Again unlikely due to documented history that would've had to been faked. So the only realistic possibility is that the myth was created in his time. But this would require that other documented people were all in on the deception. Which seems quite unlikely. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Create robust enterprise, web RIAs.
