I do like this Caesar's Messiah theory a lot, but I'm not determined to defend it nor am I remotely qualified to. Though it's nearly impossible that I'll ever consider all religions anything other than mass mind control cults employing social viruses of overt and covert psychology with resilient circular logic.

His Shakespeare's Secret Messiah theory is interesting too, but much less convincing in the face of others with more merit.

Joe Atwill's Powers & Principalities with Tim Kelly is a great show, but not without their obvious biases, subjective judgementalism, and errors now and then, along with who know how many slip ups (like the one about Trump's father I caught at 1:09:17 here: https://infogalactic.com/info/Powers_%26_Principalities,_Episode_047,_Proper_Transcription).
