There was a podcast of Bob

There was a podcast of Bob Price (possibly a Bible Geek episode) in which he mentioned a guy roughly at the time of Jesus who was declared a God, claimed to be a God and did miracles. I think his name started with an "s" and about 5-6 letters long (if memory serves).

 

Does anyone know what I'm talking about?  Often Xian's will make the case that a myth can't grow out of a true story so quickly - this contradicts it but its hard to find and source.

Imagine the people who believe such things and who are not ashamed to ignore, totally, all the patient findings of thinking minds through all the centuries since the Bible was written. And it is these ignorant people, the most uneducated, the most unimaginative, the most unthinking among us, who would make themselves the guides and leaders of us all; who would force their feeble and childish beliefs on us; who would invade our schools and libraries and homes. I personally resent it bitterly.
