Why the hell are there so many questions about JESUS on this site?

I think it's cyclical. A few weeks ago the star of the questions was Prophet Muhammad the PBUH

A lot of the questions asked people have experience with.  But people shouldn't put their complete faith in Yahoo Answers when seeking the truth.

Hummm.\n\nGreat question! I am betting you kept thousands of True Believers busy clicking onto your (sorry, stupid otherwise) question.\n\nBetter doing this clicking on YOUR question, than asking their silly, droll, meaningless religious questions .. cause while they are reading YOUR question, they do not have time to type THEIRS!\n\nMy hat is off to you! and, thanks for the points.

It was weird for me as well - and continues to be since the people I cae most about are still believers.  There's a whole horde of such stories at the following site:

This is the religious forum, it's called religion and spirituality. Why start another forum when this gets more hits than someone's unknown blog? How else would you use freedom of speech unless you are discussing words? Seriously, we like the word, the word is good. But what point are you trying to make here? That people ought to be inclosed and not speak to each other? Do you get it? Or are you just fed up from hearing about it? I already mentioned why this place is better than a blog. If it's tiring why are you here? As for the questions, most of the questions have nothing to do with spirituality, most of the questions have more to do with retards asking stupid questions than anything spiritual (just kidding whatshoudIdo, I actually find your gag funny:). I don't read the bible but am interested in what people have to say about it. Spiritual and religious questions have always been answered but always need an answer, kind of like, how can we make the world a better place. The second you stop asking is the second you stop being human.

Jesus is included in other historical documents than just the Bible.  I personally have read about Him in Josephus.  And yes, He is the Christ.  How many people do you know of that would die for a lie?  ALL of the disciples except one died for saying that Jesus is the Christ.

Yeah you're right. The answers are pathetic. They pretend to know the things that they do not have any idea about. at least they should be polite and tolerant, sometimes they remind of the "christian" persecuters of the pioneers. haha :-) it's just funny why persecute us for our belief that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God and Savior of the world? Why persecute Joseph Smith for him telling that He spoke to God and the Son? Does not God answer prayers? or call his prophets anymore? Have miracles ceased? Have revelations and visions ceased? not with our church!!! Faithful and charitable and tolerant some of today's so called Christians are :-) We believe in Christ. full stop!!!

cdf-rom: You are a lunatic. No one is trying to sway people away from the faith. Seriously. If you honestly believe that is a real motive for anyone, anywhere in this whole Magdalene/DVC controversy, then you suffer from paranoid delusions and need to get your head checked. \n\nIt just seems weird to a lot of people, myself included, that so many Christians (not all, but a lot) went totally apesh*t over the mere suggestion of Jesus acting like a normal guy of his times.\n\nI really like Mary Magdalene, always have. Never cared much for the Madonna, though. What did she do, really? She had a kid, supposedly while a virgin (not actually true, see Hebrew version of Isaiah 7:14, definitely says young woman, not virgin). So, basically she had a kid. Which is what the "Church Fathers" believed was all women were really good for, anyway. So their number one female figure is a girl whose biggest accomplishment is getting knocked up.\n\nNow take a look at this passage from the Pistis Sophia, referring to Mary Magdalene:\nJesus, the compassionate, answered and said to Mariam:\n"Mariam, thou blessed one, whom I will complete in all the mysteries of the height, speak openly, thou art she whose heart is more directed to the Kingdom of Heaven than all thy brothers."\n\nYeah, she was bright, she got was Jesus was saying, apparently more than his other (male) disciples. And that's nothing compared to the Gospel of Mary (go look it up). So I figure, why not have the female co-star of Christianity be Jesus's wife instead of his mother? She was actually an intelligent woman, rather than just a pregnant one. Aren't we a little past the 'barefoot in the kitchen' era?

Because Yahoo answers doesn't have a policy that says for believers only or for Christians only.Nor do they have a section that says only Christians or believers may post questions or answers.\n\nAnd I am a Christian.I just know that I rather like having an open forum where EVERYONE is welcome.

I am so glad you are still seeking the one true Son of God.\nThe historical Jesus was born in a carpenters home. He learned the tricks of the trade from his earthly father. He was a Jew so I am sure He was different than what you have seen in pictures and movies. He probably had short hair with the long hair hanging like sideburns as the Jewish custom. I believe he was strong since carpenter work was hard work. I believe he was short and dark complected as were most men of the time.\nTalk about a lovable character, He took a beating, and torture, and even death, because He loved us so much.

Man, I understand where your coming from.  I've studied other religions and looked into this Jesus and I've asked the same question and many more.  Jesus is special for a number of reasons.  Yes, there were many people who crucified as saviors before and after Jesus.  We still get people popping up claiming divinity.  The real question isn't so much as is Jesus the savior because he got a few books written about him, its why were there books written about him in the first place.  The most basic point anyone can show you is this...its not that Jesus died, its that he rose after his death.  And there is more evidence that he did actually rise 3 days later and not just Biblical evidence.  First off, the fact that the Roman leaders and armies wanted him gone, because it was the time of Pass Over which is the celebration of Jews getting out of Egypt, and at this time of year, the Jewish community gets a little out of hand, for the are now under the Roman rule.  So when Jesus comes in, and he's claiming to be their savior...the crowd thinks he's going to be a king and run the Romans out.  So, if Jesus didn't rise again, why did the Romans say nothing?  Why did the Jewish Pharaseas (please excuse my spelling) who pushed to have him killed, not stand up and say..."he's still dead!"?  What was it that gave Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John the confedance to step out of their hidding, for fear they were going to be crucified, and boldly speak of a living God, Jesus...and welcome their death?  These questions may seem weak, but if you really think about them and look at the history and try to get in the minds of all these people...only one thing makes since...Jesus is not dead...he rose, becoming a savior that no one expected, but a savior from ourselves.  Thats why Jesus is special, the others were saviors...they were fanatics.  There are a lot of other reasons why Jesus is special, but I honestly have the feeling that if this thought doesn't at least make you rethink the history, then anything else I say, will truly be pointless.

These are all part of the same myth.\nNot much is known about the life of Jesus as he was unimportant in his own lifetime. Subsequent generations have filled in the gaps with their own speculation.\nAs you can see from some of the answers.

I am very surprised that this had no replies before me!\nI probably am not the best person to answer as Im not particularly religious.  I was brought up attending church but to me Jesus is pretty much just a fictional character in a very old book ( that probably wasnt translated very accurately anyway!)...;

Why so many questions about the colour of Jesus' skin?\nGod made all races of people and salvation is available to everyone.  I don't care if Jesus was black, brown or white.  What is the difference?  He is still God!
