Well, maybe, but this is one of the two ways of looking at it that make sense to me. On the one had, it could have been that JC was trying to teach something about the identity of all mankind - there's some evidence (and forgive me that I don't have it at my fingertips or any way to locate easily) that he spent some time chilling with the Essenes, who were some hardcore mystics.
The other way is the Devotional Cult. However, that should work with JC or Vishnu or Baghwan Sri Rajneesh, or Joe Pesci for that matter.
I guess I am approaching this from the vague vicinity of Pascal's wager, which breaks down in an environment of multiple mutually exclusive religions.
