I assume you're talking about me even though you're not saying my name...

But no, I know my limitations and know that I shouldn't put myself anywhere near Michael Bolton and Conway Twitty.

Really?

On the spirituality forums I find that everyone likes the man Jesus, but then they become divided on Paul.

Sure. Take any one of the people who first migrated out of Africa. Jesus, if he existed, would be one of their descendents.
Any one of them?

Like this one?

Yes because let's face it Jesus was responsible for their safety. 🙄

He certainly had a large following, but is it comparable? In fact, how does one compare?

I suppose you could do a head count, for which Jesus wins.

The other criteria is rather difficult to ascertain. You could look at evidence of their teachings that effect the world today. For example, when it comes to giving their time and money to the poor, Christians far outshine those not of faith consistently. Can the same be said for those following Buddha?

What I find interesting is that in the spirituality forum people have a problem with pretty much everyone, including myself. However, when it comes to Jesus they seem to admire him, despite people like myself and who try to follow him.

Jesus advocated progressive taxation and welfare for the poor, and he hugged sex workers. Overall, I'd say we're making some progress towards the progressive activism that Jesus advocates widely in the New Testament, just as long as global warming doesn't nail us first.
