You had me going there for a while. BUT ... I happen to know that Divine Teacher of Plato broke his neck while falling down the steps of the Agora in Athens - too much Uzu, the story goes.

Because faith is a personal decision, often times influenced by community and personal experiences. I would also guess that most Christians have never heard of the majority of those people in your list.
But don't you be messin' with Zoroaster.

Because all of them are dead. None of them ever came back from the dead. And God did not confirm to me the truth of any of their calims as he has for me concerning; The Truth of The Way, The Truth, and The Life, who is Jesus The Christ.

i think the main reason is that christianity is derived from judaism.
jesus was from the line of david and was seen as the heir to the throne.
that's why the romans killed him.
he was going to start a rebellion.
that's why jews turned him in, so he wouldn't get them killed.
it happened later and the romans put it down.
but jesus has only been god since the catholic church, along with the roman government, said he was.

The others didn't stand the test. There is only one Messiah, one begotten Son of God, one Christ.

you can give us a list of all of these so-called "saviors" but there is only one Savior. Jesus Christ. He is the only one that shows himself today. There are so many miracles that could have only been from him...
