Realistically, he'd probably either end up homeless due to his "mental illness" or he'd eventually realize he can't convince people he's God and he'd get hammered down and live life like the rest of us. Don't suppose he'd be performing miracles to make his own life easier. Maybe he'd do some good my working in a food bank or something.
I knew a psych nurse once who said they hated when they had 2 Jesuses at the same time because the staff always had to work hard to keep them separated or they would fight.
Didn't psychologists back in the day stick a buttload of jesuses together to see what would happen?
Apparently they all rationalized that they were still Jesus
The latter is what I'm thinking. From the Bible and related stories, before he really had a following, Jesus Christ was just a humble dude who put others before himself and tried to do good in his community.
I'm not religious, so I don't buy all of it hook, line, and sinker, so my take on the miracles is that there was a rational explanation but nobody knew what it was. Like how magic tricks are. Because there haven't been any in modern times. These days, I think someone would just pick them apart, look at them from every angle, and explain them.
