Did you seriously ask this and not realize it proves how absurd the current situation is?
I think you're taking my comment out of context, so I'll try to put it back in context:
It might seem contrived, but there was this one time a jewish carpenter ran afoul with his church and then some crazy stuff happened. I don't think he ever even helped run it.
Yea, and did he go declare himself head of judaism?
My bible study's a little rusty but isn't that supposedly why they crucified him, for calling himself King of the Jews?
