Jesus Christ is missing from this list. That is the real problem with our country right now.

It does say living today also. It isn't about historical figures.

Yeah, because he's a fictional character.

You don't think the man Jesus existed? Atheists, agnostics, historians all agree that Jesus existed and was crucified. Even Richard Dawkins will admit to this.

So I take it you don't accept that he performed miracles? which parts, exactly, do you deny about history? just things that sound unbelievable to you? do you believe in the greatest miracle of all time--the big bang, everything coming from nothing? do you believe George Washington existed? can you prove it? have you thoroughly investigated all the claims in the Bible and historical documents surrounding it? have you given it any thought whatsoever, and if not, why are you speaking about a topic you know little about?

I know plenty. I can speak on this for hours. You haven't done proper research. "Just trust the science". Pssh. We all know how that's going right now.

He's a mythical holy man like the Buddha. The story of Jesus is just that, a STORY. It's a good story, but not meant to be taken literally. And the Jesus character borrows from the ancients before him.

Here is a list of holy figures who took the form of men and then ascended into heaven, including:

Salivahana of Bermuda
Zulis or Zhule of Egypt
Osiris of Egypt
Oru of Egypt
Odin of the Scandinavians
Zoroaster of Persia
Baal of Phoenicia
Taut, "the only Begotten of God" of Phoenicia, inventor of letters
Bali of Afghanistan
Xamolxis (Zalmoxis) of Thrace
Zoar of the Bonzes
Adad of Assyria
Deva Tat of Siam (Thailand)
Sammonocadam (Sommona-Codom) of Siam (Thailand)
Alcides of Thebes
Mikado of the Sintoos
Beddru of Japan
Bremrillah of the Druids
Thor son of Odin of the Gauls/Norse
Cadmus of Greece
Hil/Feta of the Mandaites
Gentaut of Mexico
Universal Monarch of the Sibyls
Ischy of Formosa (Taiwan)
Divine Teacher of Plato
Holy One of Xaca
(Fohi) of China
Tien of China
Adonis son of the virgin Io of Greece
Ixion of Rome
Mohamud or Mahomet of Arabia.

Here are gods that existed BEFORE Jesus that died and resurrected:

Thulis of Egypt, 1700 B. C.
Krishna of India, 1200 B.C.
Crite of Chaldea, 1200 B.C.
Atys of Phrygia, 1170 B.C.
Thammuz or Tammuz of Syria, 1160 B.C.
Hesus or Eros 834 B.C.
Bali of Orissa, 725 B.C.
Indra of Thibet (Tibet), 725 B.C.
Iao of Nepaul (Nepal), 622 B.C.
Buddha Sakia (Muni) of India, 600 B.C.
Mitra (Mithra) of Persia, 600 B.C.
Alcestos of Euripides, 600 B.C.
Quezalcoatl of Mexico, 587 B.C.
Wittoba of the Bilingonese, 552 B.C.
Prometheus or Æschylus of Caucasus, 547 B.C.
Quirinus of Rome, 506 B.C.

Putting aside the theological aspect of Christ having resurrected and as such being alive, the list is comprised of people who are dwelling on earth. I do agree otherwise. Sadly, the only Christian religious leader on this list is the most anti-Catholic pope in history. So yeah.

Most Christian leadership is anti Christian these days. It's embarrassing the kind of emasculated Christianity that gets peddled these days. The Christianity of my youth would never have feared Covid and the Government enough to stop trusting God to protect them.

When good men refuse to step up and be leaders...then who's left to be the leaders?

That's the issue. Good men are not stepping up, so all of our leaders are either effeminate puppets or powerhungry maniacs.

Only thing is that we can't tell if Jesus Christ is living on this world
