imo.... jesus.
first off his name wouldnt have been pronounced jesus.
it would either have been heysoos or yaysus. so that fks a lot of hymns up for starters.
obviously the population of the world was a lot smaller 2000 years ago. even more so cos the romans had killed most of them.
and all but royalty and the rich were very uneducated, hence having to explain things in parables which seem ridiculous to us scholars.
he only had a dozen followers.
the average sleberdy on twitter has at least a thousand.
seems word of his magic tricks got out and people flocked like sheep cos basically they had nothing better to do.
people didnt have bills to pay in those days and mortgages otherwise they wouldve just ignored him and carried on working.
say for instance david blaine announced that he is actually the son of god... would anyone believe him?
he can do loads of tricks and is a pretty cool chap.. maybe he is?
i think if he could prove he is the son of god there would still be someone ready to assasinate him.
the only good thing about that would be that more words rhyme with blaine than jesus, so the hymns would probably be a bit more imaginative and original.
