I just wanna see how many people believe in Jesus Christ?
Only a YES or NO answer, no but this and that's please?
What is this? A debates forum or your own private census site?
Why ask people to simply answer yes or no on a debating forum! What's the point of that?
Anyway, JC, although in all likelyhood a man who did once live, he was NOT the son of god and anyone who belives he is/was, is in my opinion, suffering from self delusion or is simply unable to break the bonds of childhood brainwashing.

LOL! One of my favourite scenes in the film - probably the funniest film ever made.
I remember at the time that church leaders were outraged that someone should poke fun at their beliefs! Their indignance during a television debate with Michael Palin and John Cleese gave me another laugh.
Personally, I don't see how Monty P's portrayal of religion was any more ridiculous than their own claims. 🙂
yes, and if you beleive he existed but don't beleive he is Christ, then do you beleive what he taught? and if you beleive it, then you must think he is mad too! and if you only beleive some of it, why? why only some?

I believe that Ghandi and Martin Luther King Jr. existed and had some good ideas, but I don't think they were divine or should be worshiped.
