In mankind's thought process Jesus had to be superman, he couldn't be just Jesus.
For why else would people follow his teachings or build shrines to him or create giant church organizations with treasuries to match if he wasn't superman, the son of God.
To build a following he had to be born to a virgin, make miracles and rise from the dead.
The Pope as his representative became infallible, while heading a huge male hiarchy that granted no voice to women, brutally punished any opposition and in some cases, molested children.
But I love Jesus' wisdom in The Sermon On The Mount:
No threats, no intimidation, but an inspired man who preached love, kindness, peace, forgiveness and goodwill for all mankind
