my nutjob theory to explain how Jesus survived the crucifixion and was used to start the Christian religion, a threadhttps://twitter.com/ne0agent1c/status/1293066934066589696 …
Compelling. Another easier possibility: 1 he died and they stole his corpse, the suspiciously specific denials of this are just evidence of it 2 Another dude then claimed to be him, and this is why the disciples didn't recognize him

my theory is predicated on a magical parsimony principle, ie the best way to make something look like it happened is to make it actually happen, which is why I favor the premise Jesus really survived which would sufficiently motivate the disciples to evangelize to their deaths

That's a good justification. My take is that he originally intended to start a rebellion against the Romans and his sudden death in apparent violation of prophecy was traumatizing, leading to convoluted rationalizations and reinterpretations of his actions as a coping mechanism.
