If Jesus was not the god of the Romans who the Hell was?

Question

The Roman emperors created the myth of Jesus based on the life of Augustus Octavian Caesar. They were tired of creating gods that died. So they created Jesus in "spirit-memory" of Augustus so they would have a perpetual logo to market their power to the world with. Their marketing concepts have been copied by world corportation for generations. That is why the corporations all have their private logo to market.

Answer 1

The Gods worshipped by the Romans around the time of Jesus are still worshipped by some people today. Their names are familiar. Jupiter (Jove), Juno, Ceres, Neptune, Pluto, Vesta, Apollo, Diana, Minerva, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Vulcan, Ops, Saturn and Bacchus..... (I could go on but I think you get the point).

Jesus was NOT based on Augustus Octavian Ceasar (who was "deified" by decree, but NOT accepted as being the same as the "main" Roman Gods by the practitioners of Religio Romanum in that time). It is far more likely that the stories of Jesus are a combination of other factors than the FAR from credible theory you have come up with using absolutely NO historical or archeological evidence.

Answer 2

The Romans were polytheists. They put to death Christians because they proclaimed Jesus is Lord, and none other. Not a real good marketing campaign, killing those who believed in a god you created. Pure bovine excrement.

Answer 3

That's a new one, and I don't really see the parallel. I think you'll see more similarities with the god Mithras whom was worshipped by Constantine at the time of his so called "conversion".

Answer 4

So they created a God that they killed? only to have resurrected, then His followers killed?
