Right. A Judaean Zealot - Yeshu'a bar Abbas (son of the Father) gets caught and crucified - naturally, he stays dead. Around the same time - two or three years each way - a preacher named Yeshu'a bar Yosef comes up from Nazareth and starts preaching a reformed Judaism based on Essene principles. He and his followers cause a brawl in the Temple and rather then have the Romans intervene, the Pharisees (who see him as one of their own, if a bit radical) give him some money and tell him to clear off. He and his family go either to Alexandria in Egypt or Massilia (Marseilles) and live happily ever after.. About a century later, a Hellenised, Jew, Roman citizen and Pharasic scholar named Saul comes across a community who still follow the teachings of this Yeshu'a. He listens to their anecdotes and tall tales - all a bit muddled by then. Then he takes thier stories and ideas, adds in some fashionable Stoic philosophy, dresses up the stories to sound like any typical Mediterranean vegetation cult, and starts up a new mystery cult. He's successful enough to do a few tours in between writing loads of guff. He probably got pretty rich. He ended up going to Rome, where he got into trouble with the unstable and capricious Emperor Nero, who had him beheaded. Other folk kept the cult going and got rich and powerful.

Nobody died for anybodys' sins, nobody rose from the dead. We carry on paying for peoples' gullibility.
