Re: A Plausible Reading of Mark, Well-Done with a Side of Ra
I see no reason not to believe the movement started from many centers all over the Diaspora, by very diverse beliefs, who all had a different opinion of a martyred Galilean, mythical or historical.

Re: 1 Thessalonians 2.13-16, Paul, and the gospel of Matthew
Also, the Gospel writer doesn't have the other very peculiar feature of 1 Thessalonians, which is the apparent surprise and explanation of some people dying.
