"Jesus’s Message was very mysterious, speaking to ignorant, illiterate people—oppressed by the most powerful nation on Earth, speaking into a time of great discord and confusion and misery. To lose such a Teacher to the very forces that were oppressing his people necessitated the creation of a story that he bridged the gap to God as if God had been displeased with humanity before, which is not the case; as if his life was forfeited as a restitution for the errors leading back all the way to the Garden of Eden, which is merely a symbolic story."
