more likely King Jesus was taken off the Cross since it was Passover, and put in a cave - body never found;
"Romans" Sacrifice cult to Moloch, the ones who killed him, couldn't stop the evangelicals - who thought he had died? His teaching lived on, regardless, His Grace; and the Demonic Cult blood sacrifice-performers had to appropriate his image and legend to enslave the future generations.
Moses / Ramses forbid the child sacrifice / worship of the Golden Calf/ Moloch, Chimera , Pan deity
King Jesus was a holy man who opposed their actions / cult; and that's why they hated him, and hate Him to this day.
A hang-out? no pun
They bring in followers to their fake Christianity, through the honey "the Truth" of His Grace and Teacher, but douse it with poison?
Use it to control?
A good number of the ancestors to Americans (myself included) left Europe ~400 years ago to escape these numbskulls, and practice Christianity of their own accord.
