Only partly related, but...
Yesterday I saw a BBC documentary about Jesus that in the end suggests Jesus was actually something like a buddhist monk, that he was indeed crucified but did not actually die on the cross, and instead after getting better went to Afghanistan where he died around the age of 80.
It sounds weird at first, but in the end their story provides a rational explanation for certain things told in the bible and sounds quite plausible. Anyone seen it?
