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 has 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 sinners! Substantiated claims to be God!
Two names were given to Christ on earth: "Jesus"-meaning "God saves", and "Emmanuel"-meaning "God with us". We find God in the Lord Jesus Christ.

Buddha taught for 40 years, has inspired great art, great literature and everything you claim Jesus did. He even loved people and did not demand that they love him back. He only loved them because that was the right thing to do. He never spoke of revenge or of getting even. His only concern was to free people, not send them to hell because they didn't believe what he said.
