Funny, I got something different out of this post this morning than I now see is your real intent. I was kinda bleary eyed, which probably accounts for my mis interpretation. What I thought you were saying was that perhaps Jesus plays a large role in Christianity similar to the oversize role Moses plays in Judaism- which I thought was an excellent point.
Unrelated to that: It's my understanding that the town of Nazareth didn't exist at the purported time of Jesus' earthly existence. This according to the current analysis of archaeological evidence from the region.

Hi Chris,
If Nazareth did not exist during the time of Jesus, then historical writings like the talmud, Joesphus, Tactius, etc would be filled with mockings of such a place, yet history is silent about the topic. IF the bible was only a man made document without divine intervention, then to make up a place such as that would be down right silly. If i wanted to make up a story, would I use a non existent place or a newly developed place? People back then were not dumb. and to argue the bible was written hundreds of years later would also be on the fringe of so called scholarship. I will trust those closest to times.
