Jesus, preached for only 3 1/2 years yet influenced the world far greater than Buddha, Krishna, Mohammed, Confuscious and some of the others combined. Only 3 years Chris ? It doesn't seem to ever be of any importance to you that this Son of God waits until he is 30yrs old to manifest himself? You would think that being the son of the Father he would have long before done something that would have distinguished himself from so many others around him ... Apparently the people that made up and assembled these stories so much later on , couldn't conceive of any miracles, actions , thoughts or deeds that a 13year old boy , or 20 year old young man could do to set himself apart or indicate his divine calling. Given that he was the Son of God I would think that very strange... He then appears from out of nowhere at 30yrs old ,recieves his calling by partaking in a Hindu ritual of bathing in the river Jordan , soon after has one of his new disciples walks upon the water , cures a leper , gives a Sermon on the Mountain... All these things already known and told before, & famous for over 2-4 centuries of Lord Buddha, who was known as the savior & light of the world all starting 500 yrs before... " He set the world on fire after his death by sending The Holy Ghost in his stead. The power of the Holy Ghost turned his disciples from fishers of fish into bold fishers of men. Illiterate in a literate world they changed the course of history. " Only three years time Chris ? This is hardly long enough time to gather , let alone fully teach the subtleties of heaven & spirituality to common men . It is just not believable. Theologically inserting the Holy Ghost so much later on by priests to explain such a narrative's ending , only furthers anyone's doubts that this is anything other than an embellished and composed narrative/myth/legend , based on so much hearsay and whisperings . * But many people do fall in love with a book of poetry , or have their lives changed by a wonderful fictional narrative , by falling in love with a lead character and trying to emulate his wondrous deeds...it happens all the time . regards Mars

" The truth is Jerusalem is in the Middle East, NOT EUROPE AND NOT AMERICA! ....Nevertheless, history has proven that those nations which embraced the gospel of Jesus Christ have prospered abundantly more than those which have rejected him. " That is such a wonderful defense of a "divine" teaching Chris . You just completely converted me with that one , mighty, broad~sweeping statement . It does seem extremely dangerous to me to hear defenses of a religion based on such criteria. Satan the "Supreme Corrupter" would be more apt to disguise and rapt himself in offering a religion spread by Empire.... based on dellusion ,wars and violence, and hold sway over it's blind followers with the threat of eternal damnation What a better way to make people stand in line than to keep them thinking that the only way to get to heaven is by obeying by such threats ...even to create a story of a Son of God . If you look at the Christian/Western history , it's states and Empires almost lead the entire world up to complete anilhilation by mechanized warfare and horrible incineration by nuclear holocost . And the Middle East ?<G> All in the name of God Chris ? Yes it seems someone went astray , somewhere. But other teachings that came before , never led to this ? regards Mars PS: The one saving grace we do have in America & the World is the concept of Democracy , which lo and behold originates in Pagan Greece.... ...thank heaven for little pagans...i mean "blessings ", eh ?
