The Conspiracy of Christ

I’ve never been the kind of person to easily resort to or sympathize with a #conspiracy theory. And of course, there can be considerable social consequence for those that do because we’re told by the relentless repetition of the media’s narrative, that conspiracy theories are dangerous.
But it seems to me that as a modern culture, we seem to have a massive blindspot where this is concerned because for just about all the historical religions, to reject their claims is to indulge in something like a conspiracy theory.
By historical #religion I mean those that ground their claims and stories in history – which is something that was virtually unheard of before Judaism and #christianity as pagan religious or #mythological narratives almost always took place in some other place or dimension of reality, but with #Judaism and Christianity, God enters into the story of human history in a way that was entirely novel up until that point.
And while I tend to not sympathize with most conspiracy theories, I think that there are some that are more likely than others and that tends to correlate to how complex they are. The more complicated the supposed conspiracy, the less likely the theory concerning it is true, I would say.
So in the case of religious traditions, if rejecting the central claims of a given religion means you have to then explain the true origin of that religion through something like a conspiracy theory, the question becomes for me, how hard would it have been for the supposed conspirators to hatch that particular deception.
And when you look at it from that angle, you’re left with a scale that says that the more complicated the conspiracy theory gets, the less likely it is true and the more likely the claims of that religion are true and based on that, some religions appear to be much more susceptible to explanations of conspiracy than others.
