Take away the biblical version and you have an average guy. May as well call him Bob Everyman.

Except for the fact that a religion very quickly grew around the claims of his followers. It grew, I'll point out, among the very people that knew this "Bob Everyman". That kind of sale job doesn't make much sense unless there is some validity to their claims. Could I sell you on the claim that your neighbor was the Son of God, raised the dead, died and was resurrected? I'd imagine not.

Give me some of that "evidence" and we'll see.
