There is all that biblical high and mighty bullshit about him but wouldn't the story be better, make a lot more sense if he was a bastard son who ended up marrying an ex-prostitute making her his second in command of his ethical revival of the world?

Yes, but then what reason would Church leaders have to raise money and rule the world with?

I couldn't have said it any better.

In the immortal words of Mickey B.--

"Organized religion = crowd control."

In my view, Jesus was an awesome person, who got into trouble with his main political supporters, the Zealots, because of his "render unto Caesar" crack; survived the crucifixian (it was a hoax); and married Mary Magdelene.

Oh, and the "cast the first stone" thing--many Biblical scholars think--as I do--that the incident never happened.

Right. As soon as Jesus died people starting fucking shit up, the councils and the immaculate fabrications. When the Roman Empire adopted it as the official religion, that was what screwed Europe for the next 1000 years.
