Random note about one of the most noteworthy external source of the historical Jesus. Josephus (the historian) was in a Jewish army rebeling against the Romans. His army was trapped in a cave after a battle, and he convinced the survivors that the only option left was to kill each other one by one, instead of being taken alive. They did, until he was the only one left. Then he walked out and surrendered. Class act.

I don't get this.

Why didn't he just kill himself if being dead was better than being taken alive ?

He talked all his buddies into killing themselves, chickened out, surrendered and defected, died a rich old man.

Just wait until you see the new Exodus movie.
Jesus is apparently (from what I hear) a 10 year old boy. This is also biblically inaccurate but I have not seen it for myself
