The life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ is the most documented event in history. If you can find a better documented person, I would like to know about them. Look into it if you have some time.

Are you serious? I'd think the most documented event in history would probably be the last presidential election. So many cameras, so many interviews..... The Apollo 11 Moon landing probably had more TV viewers in 1969 than people who have read the Bible.

Someone like Marilyn Monroe is far more "documented" than Jesus Christ. Sure, there are more copies of the Bible printed than any other document. But that's meaningless. They're just identical copies, not multiple independent documentation of the same person or event.

I'm not trying in any way to degrade Jesus Christ. But the fact is that there is just the words of the Bible, the Koran and their various translations that document Jesus. No pictures. No recordings. Not even any lifetime painting. No remains. And it's been many generations separate us from that time, so documentation on related history is sparse as well.

Relatively speaking, there is very little documentation on Jesus, and that's just a fact.

Even still, some true believers think the Kerry campaign will be resurrected in Ohio. ;o)

Jesus Christ is alive and well, as documented by the head of the GOP, George W. Bush, among untold millions of other biographical documents on this subject.

He continues to persuade and strengthen the hearts and minds of a large segment of your society. Look around at the evidence of His death and resurrection.

Peruse this site to understand the influence He has had on America.

It continues with the 2004 election.
