My goodness, this thread has devolved, thanks to some of the above fucking morons.
To take the topic as seriously as it deserves--there is zero historical evidence of what he actually did. Modern biblical scholars think the "cast the first stone" incident never happened, due to textual inconsistencies.
Other scholars think that he didn't die on the cross, as one of the gospels strongly suggests--that is, when you reda it in the original Greek.
"legalized bacon"? Tommyrot. He was an observant Jew all his life, and I hardly think he would have violated any of the dietary restrictions.
