What is so special about Jesus?

When Jesus was alive people wanted to kill him, but now that he is dead every religion seems to want a piece of him and everyone seems to revere him. Everyone seems to agree that if there is a heaven, Jesus is there as are his followers. At the same time, his message seems to bring the same wrath of those that wanted Jesus dead when he was alive.

Crazy.

Who is like him?

I wouldn't say now that He is dead every religion seems to want a piece of Him... The distinction between Jesus and every other religious leader is the fact that His grave is empty because He has risen from the dead and thereby demonstrated His divinity.

What I mean is, all religions seem to acknowledge he was inspired by God.

What other figure is so revered and accepted?

Huh? So because of a thread he started on another forum about pitched battles on the streets of a U.S. city, you actually think that divegeester might want to actually punch you because he's angry about what you have said on this thread? Why are you being so utterly poisonous?

I reckon cuz I'm pure poison?
