If Jesus existed in modern times he'd be just another cult leader nut?

[MartinM.]

Christianity started off as a cult. A lot of people during his living years found Jesus to be a liar, blasphemer etc. So yeah, he'd be a controversial figure in modern times i think.

I just watched "the passion of the christ" and made me wonder what if Jesus was a nut that has a huge following he'd be just another cult leader we see today..

lol! that is a hilarious sig....if jesus was here today mary magdalene would have definately been servicing him

If Jesus ever actually lived (and there's no secular evidence that he did) then it's highly likely that he would have been a cult leader. Hey even the canonical account suggest he told his followers to abandon their families which given the culture and ownership laws at the time meant reducing them to starvation, prostitution and begging. Watch the Life of Brian... it's more historically accurate than Mel Gibson's fascist anti-jew piece.

So I take it you disagree and Jesus did NOT tell his followers to abandon their families? He never said, for example

There is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God's sake, Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting.

or maybe

And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel's,But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life

All right.

So the head wizard of the catholic babble rousers thinks that Mel Gibson's jew-hate piece is "historically accurate"? Well he wears a magic hat so it must be true.
