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



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.

Ghengis khan was generally tolerant of all religions, and did not care if his subjugants were Christian, pagan, or Buddhist. Only if they submitted to his rule or not.

I just have a hard time believing that people in power actually do most of what they do because of religious beliefs. I find they more often twist their religions to support their intent rather than the other way around.
