Gman, is that you?
Also, Christianity may be the largest religion in the world, but Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world, unfortunately. Which means very soon, it will be the largest religion in the world. Sorry to say, but math has that effect on... uhhh... stuff...
Christianity has a 600 year head start and Islam was mostly a middle east religion until the past 200 years.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

Paul would be better credited with creating it. And "created" isn't really the word, better to say he spearheaded the remake made to appeal to western audiences.

Of course he did.
There is plenty of evidence in Israel to suggest so.

Please present it.
We'll wait...
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.

Hitchens' Razor stropped and ready...
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Tacticus, a Roman Historian wrote of the Christians and of Christus, who was crucified for crimes by Pilate. He didn't say Pilate was a governor though.
