Thats not what i was getting at. If someone were to invent a messiah or "chosen one" you would think it would be more in the vein of a David type. Impervious and a slayer of all enemies, not a meek carpenter who died a common death. Thats why i think the crafters of Christianity proper had to work around the historical, and inconvenient truth around the circumstances of his death.
