This is the shocking truth: Jesus was a zealot who wanted to be King of Israel. The apostles and disciples were members of his family, by blood and by marriage, and they went on to wage a war against Rome. Far from 'converting', Saul - the false apostle - remained malicious and vindictive to the end. Saul started the lie that 'the Jews' killed Jesus, while he himself helped to kill Jesus' brother James. Saul invented Christianity, borrowing the rituals of a pagan religion, Mithraism. The gospels are a deliberately scrambled version of Jewish zealot propaganda with characters, who were Jewish warriors, stolen and subverted by Christian writers.
