Quite simply He is the Messiah referred to by various cultures everywhere. He gave a new message of mercy and forgiveness. He had a very hard time selling these ideas. He still does. He performed many miracles in order to glorify God and His greatness. He's been given a bad rep by
hypochristians, fanatics and other zealots who do evil things in His Name. All religions have their fanatics and
Christianity (the worship of Jesus as the Son of God) is no different. Some atheists claim that Jesus never existed. Maybe some people don't think He is the Son of God, but for someone who doesn't exist He has made a tremendous impact on history and culture. Also, fairy tales generally don't last for over 2000 years. Besides, I'm not a Buddhist but there's no doubt that
Siddhartha Gautama Buddha lived and died over 25 centuries ago.
