How Jesus Went Viral Amateur Musings

I am awash in gospelsI Kindle-bought a 600 page collection ofearly Christian gospelsnone of which most people ever see or readThey prove conclusively (to me)that gospel-writing was aimed at makingthe one who wandered about saying provocative thingsinto a full blown religious Messiah who would offer priests a sinecure for generations to come
The gospels in the New Testament are the edited texts ofa vast number of outlandish myths and legendsthat sprang up after Jesus did whatever he actually didLike Schweitzer and many other Biblical scholarsI believe any conclusions we draw about Jesusare inferences onlysubjective suppositionsunprovableThe only supposition that I am willing to entertainis that Jesus started a movement based onhis articulation of Abba's way
But these gospels I am reading offer me a huge clueAlready the church is preparing to make the virgin birth stickWith many stories of Mary being groped by midwives whose arms are witheredfor their forwardnessbut who were healedwhen they touchedthe hemof the infant's garment
This is sealing up the religion claim isfanciful but definitely priest-intensiveBut what is also clear in these gospels is a universal motiveAlready this baby is the universalvirgin-bornco-occupant of the Trinity
It took about 70 years for this mythological process tofind a home in the earliest written accountsthe so-called synoptic GospelsMark Matthew and LukePaul whose writings are earliestnever alludes to details of Jesus
The message to me in this is a sad oneSpecial effects have always seen as means of going viralThe Jesus I infer wanted to go viralbut because of Abba's waynot special effectsor miracles He came to show a way we could achieve a worldbased on the willed values of non-idolatry tolerancehelpfulness and democracy
