I don't believe anybody has or will ever rise from the dead, but Jesus is the most influential person in the history of the world. Number 2 is Steve Jobs.

Long before Jesus, a once in a gazillion type genetic mutation occurred in what was likely an otherwise uneventful human conception, resulting in the offspring acquiring the ability to speak. This mutation paved the way for your lord and savior to commence with his long con that continues to retard much of the west.

Jesus was basically just David Blaine in the old days

Jesus, ignoring whatever you believe, was almost surely a human man who walked this earth.
Can we really list him as "most influential" when his status is "almost surely a human man who walked this Earth"?
For the purposes of the thread, doesn't it make more sense to name somebody that slam dunk, no doubt actually existed?

Roman emperor Constantine's conversion to Christianity is the reason Christianity is a major religion and not a sect lost in the pages of history like Zoroastrianism.
Constantine was more important to Christianity than Christ

So your answer is the guy who made that happen?

He was more like a cult leader than a magician. Brainwasher extraordinaire, gilded tongued conman for the ages
Posted on 4/17/15 at 10:14 pm to Caplewood
We have no idea what he was like

Uhh ok man

Perfect timing.

Yep. Like I said, the answer has to be a religious figure. I'd agree it's subjective beyond that.
That's exactly why it doesn't have to be a religious figure. Those guys are more or less interchangeable as far as actually affecting the real events on the ground. That's why someone like Ghengis Khan outweighs them a thousandfold.
Put another religion in Christianity's place and you have much the same result. Put another dude in Ghengis Khans place and the Mongolian empire never exists. China remains in tact, as well as the Middle East. Who knows, maybe china hits the industrial revolution first. Kublai Khan never lives. You're taking about a significant percentage of the worlds population that doesn't die at the hands of Mongolian invaders. Vastly different rulers and and entirely different political landscape. Jesus inspires people on an individual basis, not on a political one

The hedge created with my words is true for anyone who lived back then. The likelihood of Jesus being a human is as high or greater than any other person written about that lived during that time or prior.

People can't even agree on what color the dude was!

Genghis Khan and Isaac Newton equally.
Jesus is only Jesus because Constantinople made Christianity the state religion.

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