Who would win in a Street Fighter 2 type game? - Jesus has a staff of wood and a fish slap button, Elvis has an endless supply of hamburgers.

I have just got street fighter again 🙂 cool game

But... here is an interesting graph - shows population since 1 AD

300,000,000 people then.

Elvis released "50,000,000 Elvis Fans Can't Be Wrong" in 1959, he must be at around 300,000,000 now and that's more than Jesus as most didn't follow him in 1-100AD.

If you had to measure it quantifiably, Who has a bigger impact?

(I think that's easily Jesus but maybe a few will disagree 🙂 ? )

If you think Jesus why has he endured? I find it interesting that todays rockstars can have a bigger following but very few will keep it for more then 10 years or so...

How's that search of a church coming along? Or your need for support with your alcoholism?

I'm still going, I don't pretend to be devout.

Maybe my post did not make sense - to put it more simply can you think of a pop star that has / had more of a following then Jesus? I'm interested in the 'belief maketh the god' ideas

Maybe its bad but I don't agree with Rastafarianism, that seems a bit like worshipping Elvis to me...

Sincere would be a start.

oh come on now, do you not use humour and not always kindly in these forums... perhaps this is not my best thread, I bumped the frosty jack one for you instead 🙂

Elvis was raised as a boy by attending church and singing gospel music and still enjoyed singing about Jesus in gospel music even after he became famous.

Short real short video where Billy Graham talks about Elvis and the Beatles.
