Theories about Jesus?

[Angrboda]

How could Jesus have so much pump after 2000 years, unless He indeed rose from the dead. I don't believe anyone has pulled that stunt yet!

I totally agree. Non sequitur notwithstanding.

Actually, the Eleusinan mystery cults were popular for close to 2,000 years. Taoism is a major force in China, 2,500 years after the fact. Buddhism is also a major religion in Asia, again, 2,500 years on. And the roots of contemporary Hinduism stretch back anywhere from 3,000 to 40,000 years. And this is even ignoring the fact that Christianity has stiff competition from, of all places, itself! The Catholic church, once the defining branch of Christianity, is losing ground yearly to the new kid on the block, Protestantism. And the Catholic church itself is a result of the Great Schism of 1054, so realistically, the modern Catholic church is less than a 1,000 years old. And even this is nothing given the fact that people with no religion have likely existed as long as there have been humans to be non-religious. Beat that for longevity!

That Christianity has had unusual longevity is a myth perpetrated by Christians themselves. Just like a Christian to use a false claim to prop up an argument that wouldn't mean anything even if it was true.
