No, there are others more infamous and famous. But Jesus is the most famous black man who ever lived that's for sure.
The calendar is based on him? Interesting.
I go by the Julian Calendar.
Most famous character in history, yes. To call him the most famous human being assumes the he actually existed.
Not atall. There are others who are more infamous and famous.
But Jesus is definitely the most famous Black man ever.

The years are based off of the assumed year of his birth. That should be common knowledge.
The calendar is based on the julian calendar, which was around before jesus. Only the year has to do with jesus.He is the most famous person ever. I wonder how many people in the world have never heard of jesus. I bet its no higher than 20-30%. I bet that holds true for the last 1k years

Wasn't Jesus like the beta version of Obama, before all the bugs were removed?
In Europe & Asia, the Great Khan is more infamous than Jesus is famous since Mongol blood flows in 75% of the population of Europe & Asia.

I think its pretty well established that the whole Jesus story is based on a dude thast actually existed.
True story: a few years ago my friend Dave's twelve year old son went to a Catholic church on a school field trip. The kid looks up, points, and asks: "who's that dead guy up there?"

Christmas isn't Jesus' birthday.
Jesus, a 30 year-old virgin who lived with his mom. Something letsrunners can relate/aspire to.
If you discount the miraculous side, I think it's safe to say that Jesus is NOT the most famous nor the most influential figure in history. A book several years ago tried to rank world figures by influence and pegged him at 4th or so (mainly because credit for "founding" Christianity had to be shared with Paul). Mohammed took the top spot, as Islam was founded by him alone, and was both faith and empire.
In terms of fame, I'm thinking raw numbers would give you somebody better known in Asia. Maybe the Buddha?
Can't believe we're even debating this.
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.
Not Buddah. He was circa 660BC and has faded into history. Asia is polytheistic. No single figure or religion dominates any one country. Plus in Asia there is no one man nor one woman, no person would ever accept such notorietry as people are to humble. If it's anything like that I would say it is a nation that people respect. The nation of Japan has been the major force over the past 100-150 years that brought us great wealth and prosperity. But Japan and Japanese would never accept such a statement, which makes them all the more deserving.

Yes, but Islam is the worst thing to ever happen to humanity, when people say influential, they usually mean in a positive way, not a Genghis Khan who founded a religion that has covered history in blood and tears. Moreover, you'll notice every kook wants to be the successor to Jesus, including Mohammed, hardly anybody except the Bahai faith has ever wanted to be the next Mohammed.
