I think Jesus is more than a celebrity. He was an important enough figure in History since, lets face it, western civilizations are living in the year 2006 of the Christian Era. So, our history is basically divided in Before and After Christ.
I think maybe he was a pretty good preacher, since whatever has been written in the Bible and refers to him as the author, are some very interesting and profound statements.
He died some 2 thousand years ago and still has millions of followers all over the world.
I don't think people knew right away who he would be or represent. I don't think he resurrected. His friends were running away from him before his death, because they were fearing for their lives too. Nonetheless, Jesus was important enough to be referred by Flavious Josephus, one historian of the time, as a Profet from Galiley that died crucified by Pontius Pilatus.
But the great aparatus that became later the church, did a great job marketing a wise man, and choosing the "right" passages written by people years and years after Jesus lived, to make of this man, an exceptional creature, the "Son of God" born from a Virgin (wich I can't believe) and resurrected (I don't believed it happened either).
But what do you think of Jesus? I am curious to know.
