Nah, Yeshua was some guy who went around preaching about love and charity and not using God to make a buck, the government responded by nailing him to a tree. This is much more believable than somebody giving up power in said government 3 months early out of the goodness of his heart.
Actually...it seems about time you get to the book of Acts those in power or even the Jews seem to have never really heard of Yeshua and seem to doubt his existence. This is why I posted the video of Carrier. One could concede of his existence but then you're left with a big (SO WHAT...???) because if we strip away the fanciful god man claims of the bible and christians we're left with a guy as you described, who wasn't the promised/prophesied messiah/savior rather he was one amongst many 1st century activist. Even so...even those are some pretty big (IFs).
