I dont literaly mean like a rockstar like the Rollingstones... but like a celebrity in a way?
I mean think about it like this... He was very influencial with the people around him... just like the celebrities of hollywood today. People looked up to him for guidance... people of today look up to celebrities for the latest trends... People crucified him when the going got tough.. like how society is looking down on celebrities that have "fallen from grace" just like Britney Spears.
Since more and more people now are turning away from religion and becoming atheists... are there more and more people now looking up at other people (celebrities) for an idol/for their role model?
When it comes down to whether which path would you rather follow in life... would you rather choose the path of your favourite celebrity to be socially rich and famous or the life of a man whos teachings are which got him killed in the but still heard off today. which one would you really choose?
Explain yourself

Marooned on Earth: There was no proper means of mass media back then. No television, radio, and language was a barrier.. keeping records was another hurdle. So to speak he was only famous locally.

If thinking of Jesus in that light will bring you closer to him then because you can understand him better then use whatever means of thinking that helps you. The Hippies in the 1960's and 1970's thought of him this way and many were saved. Jesus wa a rebel and he was different,

I'd choose a person who sticks to what he/she believes in. I respect those who do... hypocrites are only lying to themselves.
Great metaphor though for Jesus. He does fall under the celebrity genre - very influential. I mean come on He was THEE ROCK of the world that will save the believers from the pits of damnation and THEE STAR that descended from heaven to earth save our miserable lives. What have you got if you put those two together? You've got a ROCKSTAR my brother. You've got a rockstar.

Anyone that looks up to any celebrity for guidance deserves whatever foolish choices they make because of it.
I am a lifelong KISS fan, but I don't turn to Paul Stanley when I need some advice. I turn to family or a close friend.

I'll choose the path of the Savior of the world....
Jesus Christ.....who was God come in the flesh.
That's the only reason I follow Him.....because He alone is able to save me from sin.
No one else can boast that......and there is no other way to heaven

If he was so famous in his day, then how come no one outside of the bible gives him so much as a passing mention?
