Jesus Christ is unique. Socrates taught for 40 years, Plato for 50, Aristotle for 40 and Jesus for just over 3.
Jesus was not an artist, poet or musician, yet He had inspired great paintings, literature, and music. Call as witnesses Raphael, Michelangelo, da Vinci, Dante, Milton, Donne, Haydn, Handel, Beethoven, Bach and Mendelssohn.
Remember: no media coverage about Him, BUT: All those books! Worldwide acclaim! Unrivalled teaching! Healings and raising the dead! Billions of followers! Feeding of thousands from scraps! Amazing miracles! Unprecedented humility! Sinless, spotless, and righteous life! Love for sinner's! Substantiated claims to be God!

And don't forget that no other deity ever came to earth and took the form of man and died so that humanity might live. THAT'S INFLUENCE!
Thank you for pointing that out. It's nice to be uplifted now and then.

there is no god and the teachings of Christ were there before he was exploited by his followers . As a matter of fact Buddha delineated those same teachings in better detail five hundred and fifty years before hand . Jesus made it simple and his legend appeals to the mediocre and lower mentality
more effectively than truth or higher knowledge.So your statement has some merit just not as you thought .And the miracles are frauds and stories that were made up after the fact some one hundred and forty years later which kind of eliminates possible witnesses to debunk false claims but use your head ; Have you ever really seen a miracle and if god would make miracles why doesn't he do anything at all the rest of the time . It just does not add up so use your head !
and aside from the objective my personal view is god and jesus and the bible promote evil as much or more than good so thank goodness we have a justice system for the lack of a real true religion.

Praise the Lord!
Let us all rejoice for He has done marvellous deeds.
But more than anything else, we should all live the gospel. Christians, of all persuasions, should follow what St. Paul said, "It is no longer I who lives, but Christ who lives in me." We all have to practise what we preach so that more people will turn to Christianity. Let us set aside our differences.
Peace and every blessing!
