Nah, loads people had miracles ascribed to them in those days
Jesus wasn't the only messiah floating about back then either - Penn & Teller's The Bible is Bullshit has a great line about it: 'Life of Brian is a more accurate depiction of the events than Mel Gibson's the Passion of the Christ'.

I love Penn & Teller
but conversely they have almost themselves become a thing of ridicule. "Oh well if Penn and Teller say it's bullshit it has to be bullshit, right?"
