I like the idea that Jesus spent the 20 years between debating rabbis and his own ministry going east on the silk road and learning Buddhism. I've always felt like base Christianity seems like Buddhist principles through a Jewish lens.
Some of that “time in the desert” eh?
It's been a while since Sunday school, do they mention "time in the desert" other than the 40 days when the devil was screwing with him?
I always wondered about his childhood. The bible practically goes from: Jesus born > Jesus is an adult, with very little in-between. It really bugged me as a kid - I couldn't relate to an adult, let alone to one that's supposed to be perfect. Also, how can a little girl be expected to care about bible stories when so many of them are just boring conversations between old men from ancient times? Sure, occasionally women appear. And sometimes there are animals. Noah's Ark's been milked to death in kids' bible stories, probably because it's one of the few stories in the book that's capable of actually capturing kids' attention.
But anyway. Point is, since Jesus's youth seems to barely have a record, you could well be onto something.
