Why is Jesus so important? To clarify my point further how did Jesus get much importance when he was just one of many Messiahs, prophets, and healers wandering around Palestine at the time? The more I read about Jewish history of the time in the area as well as Roman accounts the harder it gets to take Jesus as a very serious figure. If we take some of his tales seriously he practically begged to be executed by the powers that be with his pompous entrance to Jerusalem, hinting at sedition with taking back Jerusalem, to his outright assault on the temple.
I guess what I am curious about is how did a "Messiah" who failed harder than many other "messiahs" of his time, who at least attempted to lead revolutions, get a religion out of it? The more I read the more curious I am that anyone cared what a preacher like Jesus even did. Any enlightenment on the subject would be welcome though I imagine some will be offended by the question posed.
