Simply put Jesus has wielded more powers in his life and death than any person ever to exist, good AND bad. You seem to simply dismiss the good will that comes from MOST religious organizations and focus on the extremism. To most of the rest of the world people like YOU are the ones that are strange and contradictory.

I never disputed your quoted statistics. What I found contradictory in your post was these two statements ;
Regardless of what you think you are in the minority because 2000+ years later half the population on this planet believe in him in a religious context.
Whatever you think or believe it doesnt matter because Jesus is greater and more powerful than any of us
"Is" more powerfull Splum ? - first you seem to aknowledge the fact that he is dead and gone and next you seem to be saying that he is still with us in some way.

Tell me then Splum - what powers has Jesus wielded since his death ? - or are you saying that he is still with us in some way ?

whether he be mere mortal or not is not the question he still shapes this planet this very day.

Sorry but you are totally wrong here splum. The question of the claimed resurection and acension is one of the fundamental tenents of Christianity. If Jesus's mortal remains are found on this planet then it throws a huge and very embarrasing spanner in the works of Christianity.
