I dont doubt Jesus was a great and good man but from a rational perspective you have to conclude that a lot of what is written is metaphor and...well, story telling, embellishment if you like, and people love to have some one to follow and guide them...the political and social situation contributed to peoples desire to follow a new religion and branch away from the Jewish faith and here was there new messiah
