Husky,
I would ask you to look into some of the Caesar's Messiah resources that I have linked to above. It's is just too much that our friend jesus predicts the destruction of the Temple within one generation of his demise and Titus actually fulfills the prophecy to the day. What about Jesus Barabbas ("bar abba" - son of the father), which is such an obvious lampoon, right in the middle of the Passion narrative? There are other glaring instances pointed out by Atwill.
I am not in favor of ascribing Greater Authenticity to the Orthodox branches - Why make exception for them when even the Jews do not do so. All forms of Christianity are hoaxes and are not legitimate traditions.
My feeling is that the essentially Bacchanalian Europe could not digest the ascetic components of Indic IE, Buddhist, and Zoroastrian contact and this manifested itself in the slow genesis of Roman Satire ie Christianity.
