Because sheep do what they're told until someone pulls the wool off from over their eyes (and minds).

Well basically I can't tell you everything and all the reasons because I'd be typing all week, but here's a summary.
God made the universe 6000 years ago. There was a cnopy and the environment was different. It was a perfect state so everything grew to huge proportions and lived longer hence why there were large reptiles and other creatures which grew 4 x as big as they do today. The bible says men lived as long as 900 years old. Hence people grew bigger which is why there are over 50 cases of giant evidence of humans.
Then man wrecked it and disobeyed God so things became no longer perfect and why we still live in an imperfect creation. Ever since then man has been appointed mortal sorrow.
Its also prohecised in the Jews bible what God intended to do about it but the Jews didn't believe it even though it is in the names at the beginning of their book Genesis where it says when you put the names together: "Man is appointed mortal sorrow, but the blessed God shall come down preaching that his death shall bring the despairing rest. This was a prophecy of Jesus coming 2000 years earlier.
After man became wicked on the earh so God decided to do something about it and Methusala means his death shall bring, Methusala died and then the flood waters came upon te earth. Basicaly, thi is why we find so many fossils under dirt and why there arre layers of rock. Don't buy that rubbish when they tell you its millions of eyars old they don't know. ArtifaCTS and human remains and artifacts have been found in layersand coal supposed to be millions of years old. There are many examples of evidence for a flood what people don't know about.
Anyway to cut a long sory short, after the flod people started to worship God and out of that came Abraham and the city of Israel. Then since man has still disobeyed God so God is coming back once more to sort it all out for good. God weeps at this because this is the final time but it has to be done, the wheat has to be seperaed from the shaft if you get my meaning. So we are just waiting for it.

1. Because He taught about a personal relationship with an imminent God. Others might have hit this idea before, but Jesus, through His words and actions, made it seem possible in new and exciting ways.
2. Jesus' message is completely radical and different from all other messages. Very few other teachers say that the path to happiness lies in loving your enemies, or that caring for the oppressed, needy, and broken are different ways to express your love for God.
3. Many of us believe that He actually came from God - He was God's messenger and Son. This is what He claimed for Himself.
4. Many others follow Jesus simply because they were told to do so. They have no idea what He was really all about, and follow Him in name only.

Because He is the doorway to the living God.
John 14:6 Jesus said, I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father but through me.

you mean mouth and words alone, or living the life?
I am guessing you mean becoming like Ghandi...rocking the world, showing compassion, standing up like MLK Jr, being the miracle...
hardly anyone lately
those who are are not christian at all...like the recent Nobel Peace Prize winner and his program for micro credit and lifting people out of poverty, answering prayers to god with donations of cash
we know of all the bad examples like Tom Delay, Jack Abramoff, Foley, Bush, Rice who use thier faith to abuse others and manipulate thier constituents
who will be crowned 2006 "Distinguished Christian Statesmen of the Year" this year?

He the only one that treats you like a brother & good friend. Think about it, which religious leaders is like that.
A brother or good friend hang around you & forgive your faults, lift you up to fulfilled your goals (eg. peter from fisherman to apostles) teaches you lifeskills & promise always be with you. Will be a go-between for you & God & utimately scarifice himself to save a friend. Who wouldn't want a friend like that.
Through history we honour & recog human who selflessly put aside their cares to serve other. That's what Jesus did eventhough being the Son of God, He could have stay up there.
It is why JC is true & real. He's only God & religious leader that been down those road take we travel, to qualify himself to be our leader.

For the most part they don't. They follow what man, men, pastors, ministers, priests etc. say Jesus way was. If they were following Jesus, there would be no diversity.

Because we all die some day, your death is inevitable. If this world satisfies you so be it, take it. I'd rather have hope in a better world where people aren't murdered, shot killed, by other ignorant dumbasses who come up with their own distorted interpretation of the world, kinda like you. Have this life, enlightened one, I'll take the next.

because they have been told to do so by someone. It's synonymous with passing a secret around the room, by the time it reaches the last person, everything is distorted. They don't have any proof because they just don't think "why do I believe". they have been taught not to think. that thinking is bad or disrespectful.
I cherish my ability to think for myself and wouldn't have it any other way. I don't like the idea of others pulling me by my nostrils and leading the way.
