(And a novelist writing flaws into a "heroic main character" isn't the same as a priest writing flaws into his savior.)
Depends on who the heoric character is.
Clearly you missed my point, which was that your comparison of someone making up bad things about one's fictional character and someone making up bad things about the savior of one's religion is ludicrous.  Harry Potter may be the savior of the wizarding world, but I seriously doubt J.K. Rowling worships him (despite the billions of dollars he's made her).
You misunderstood my point, just because one views him as a savior doesn't mean he's not ficitional and doesn't mean that saying bad things about him is anything special
Excuse me but WTF are you thinking?  Did Rock_on_2008 go around spreading negative misinformation about the PS3?
Hunh?  I'm afraid I don't follow, where did the PS3 come in?

Why do you think it's likely that an early Christian would make up stories about a savior who was executed in a very humiliating way?  Why not a more prestigious form of death?  Why would these people who you speculate fabricated the existence of Jesus Christ put in bad things about their savior?

 

 Simply this, it was the mode of execution used back then.  You wouldn't say that people in America are being killed by a Guiilotine in this day and age, and you wouldn't say that people in ancient times got the electric chair, any legends that grew would grow based on some shreds of reality, hence why Jesus would get crucified and not electrocuted.
