The fact that you are so confident about this statement makes me not want to even try.


Always amusing when people vacate an argument without presenting any evidence. The funniest part is that Jesus' effect on the history of human political events is actually unimportant (ETA: religiously) whether you are a Christian or not. The course of wars and nations and human anthropology doesn't matter at all to his message of personal salvation.

What great effect has Jesus had on the course of human events besides personal salvation, that compares with the conquering of Asia?

I'm all up in this thread, just not engaged with you. Also, there is no evidence either of us could present that would prove one way or the other that a similar substitute would exist for either Jesus or Khan.

I can produce endless evidence that more people believe that Jesus is irreplaceable, given that he was the son of God according to millions, but that evidence would of course be dismissed.

Not necessarily that but how his teachings and followers affected other things. So much of western history draws a direct line to his teachings of people following his teachings.

Another honest question: khan conquered Asia. Cool. How did that resonate throughout history? Did people hundreds or thousands of years later wage was in his name? Other effects?

I will answer this, because it's a good question.

There is not much of anything that has happened since the creation of religion that was not done based on one or more of them.

So even GK, who either defeated people's or protected them based on some form of religious belief, protection from those with religious belief, or destruction of those with religious belief, is impacted by a ln originator of one of the most widely followed religions.

wut? The crusades, Charlemagne, Constantine, the fall of the Roman Empire, the Vatican, Martin Luther, the 100 Years War, the 30 Years War. I mean damn, the list goes on and on and it all goes back to Jesus being crucified as the genesis of all of it. And I'm not a Christian fwiw.
