"Since it's Easter, I think it's appropriate to bring up how the religious sects failed even to recognize the greatness of a man called Christ..." Actually I believe he was called Jesus, but no matter, he was the most influential person to ever walk the earth. It is an interesting story, born in a manger, of a virgin with a blue collar father, attended by three Arab kings who finance him with expensive gifts, splits for Egypt for most of his life and then starts a brief public life in his homeland. The Jews and Romans can't stand him, one of his followers betray him an he is strung up like a dog. The revolution that followed turned the Roman world upside down to such a degree they had to form the Catholic church to stay ahead of it. I wonder if his followers will recognize him next time, I can just see it, c'mon Jesus bend a spoon or something, how about that old walk on water thing? Maybe this time he will be riding the horse Allah ascended to heaven on. Arabs have a surprising tolerance for Jesus, probably due to the fact that his followers helped stomp out their common enemy.
