All you responded with was that it was a horrible comparison without saying why.

If a large number of people believe the same thing then all it tells us is that a large number of people believe the same thing.
You can't get around that just by ignoring it.
That the majority of people can be wrong about events (not personal opinions) they personally saw that changed their behavior and life forever? No, I don't acknowledge that that happens.
So you're specifically referring to the number of first hand eye witnesses to events rather than opinions. Good, we can hold you to that.
Exactly what events are we talking about here? Jesus' miracles or current day living Christians interpreting their own feelings and senses using their own subjective brains? Who were these people? What were their names? How many are we talking about? What exactly did they see? And more importantly how do you know all this?
Either way you're screwed with this argument. There are no reliable eye witness accounts of Jesus, just a few fictional and implausible books that do not concur with archeological or scientific evidence. And if you are referring to the testimony of living Christians then you can disregard those because you specified events rather than opinions.
