Is Jesus the most famous human being in ther history of humanity?

No we are not. But we laugh at wimpy attempts of US to revive imperialism and meddling. We just cast them aside as annoying cries from a dying and sick doggie.

Jesus WAS the most famous human in history, but in the 1960s, John Lennon rightly observed the Beatles were now more popular.

A lot of Americans throughout the Midwest and the South, pleased with Lennon's embrace of American free speech, responded by buying Beatles records and burning them, which, of course, made the poor Beatles even more destitute.

First- Lennon made it clear that they were not better, they were more popular, which, he pointed out was not a good thing.

Second- I can't believe no one said it- it's Usain Bolt, of course. Come one, the guy test drove a Ferrari on an F1 track.

OK, maybe Bolt is the COOLEST person ever.

Whatever, as if Buddhism hasn't entirely dominated Asia (except India), and as if Japan was really the "major force" behind progress for the last 100-150 years, instead of a backwater until 40 years when it became about as important as Germany. South Korea and Japan are still vassal states of the American empire, quite happy ones at that, considering the alternative is the China, the country that produced the "Art of War," not the fictional "humble" version of China you talk about. And you can't be much of a Buddhist, as this reality is nothing but an illusion and you're furthering your attachment to it with the direction of your conservation.

Uh well our calendar in the western world starts counting at his supposed birth year (although its almost certainly wrong) However it is not THE calendar. The rest of the world goes off of other calendars. Muslims (1.5 billion people or 1/4 of the world) use their own calendar based on when Mohammad moved from mecca to medina. The Chinese and surrounding asian states (1.5+ billion people or 1/4 of the world) use the Chinese calendar. As far as most famous I'm not sure he might be in the running. World wide there are a few candidates that most people can name. Mohammed, The US president of the moment, Buddha, Lenin etc. Probably hard to know for sure who is the most famous person ever.

Buddhism doesn't dominate me nor any part of mankind and The Buddah didn't want it to. He was never that way. That's not what it is about. The US is a economic colony of South Korea and Japan. The Korean and Japanese Car factories in Georgetown KY, Evansville IN area, Detroit, Dothan AL, prove it. Cheap meth-laden town workers obey Korean and Japanese, and horde down gobs of Kim Chee and Sushi in deference to their Asian masters. Japanese Banks own the FED and US Govt. China owns Walmart, Home Depot, Sears, and Nike and has pale faced eunuchs as CEO impersonators to Wall St. Only a few cheap labor US rent-a-cops remain in sail boats around in Asian waters. They are poor, trailer park trash, meth heads, and ghetto losers. Really, the people of Asia feel sorry for them and give them free food and medicine.

Mary Magdalene was not his mother.

The Great Ghenghis Khan is the most famous person in Asia/Europe who from 1100AD-1400AD civilized Russia, Turkey, Iran, Poland, Germany and taught them personal hygiene, polite manners, and reading/writing/arithmetic. Mongol soldiers are the blood father of 80% of the population of 4 Billion Asians and Europeans. The proof is in the DNA flowing in the bloodstreams of every Asian and European in the USA and the world.

Just because his genes are the most common doesn't mean people know who he is.

My vote - Obama.

This is a serious request to the Mongol Blood Guy. It takes time and energy to type out these posts. They have shown up now, if my memory serves me, for well over a year and might have been written for several years. It could be more, or less. I'm unsure because the posts don't really register. I skim then skip over these posts just as I suspect virtually everyone else on these boards does.

They're not worth reading, and they're certainly not worth replying to. They're not briefly entertaining like the Concrete Runner's posts, and they are not idiotically provocative like Uncle B's, who seems to draw energy when he can get a response to his tripe.

What satisfaction could you possibly gain from again and again posting the same basic thing? No one responds. Few probably ever read them. What's the pay-off?

In all seriousness, why?

You are the product of the ages. Youv'e survived. Be Proud of your Heritage.

The question had nothing to do with who was influential. With that said, it has too be Mohammad, followed by Jesus and Ghandi. My guss is that after the "big three", it'd be Alexander the Great, Khan or Caesar.

Somewhat recent people that have a chance one day would be Hitler, Einstein, Princess Dianna, Obama, Laden,

I actually thought Genghis Khan as well. His blood isn't only in Asians and Europeans, but Native Americans as well, as majority of them came from Mongolia.

Not just the history of humanity but of the future of humanity as well. In the future he will be more 'famous.'

Muhammad Ali said: "I am the greatest!" and I believe him.

what are you talking about? Jesus' existence IS well established. Josephus the historian wrote about Jesus. Tacitus wrote about Jesus. The chief secretary to the emperor wrote of Jesus who was called "Chrestus". The Talmud accuses Jesus of sorcery. Most of the witnesses and writings about jesus were destroyed when the Romans invaded and destroyed Jerusalem. That is why there are not a lot of sources, but there still are multiple documents that refer to Jesus. Jesus' existence is not debated at all.

I spent a semester in a Beijing university. As far as I know they went by the same calender we do.

There are some who do question Jesus' existence, but by and large, most scholars agree that there was a Jesus of Nazareth. I believe Josephus references him twice, but one of those references is likely a forgery.

but Native Americans as well, as majority of them came from Mongolia.

Buddha's not really a contender in this argument.
