What better way to instill hope in a small tribe then to create a legend that it would someday spawn a man god that would rule the world. How could the chosen people lose ?

That's got to be one of the biggest mistakes in the history of the world. It only ended up distorting the philosophy Jesus was spreading. He was a good man.true ----SO?
