Hmmmm. ok: 1) He was all about love. 2) Tremendous historical figure along with the guy who invented the wheel, the guy who invented zero, Muhammad, and Genghis Khan. 3) His controversial popularity. By that I mean (and this to me is the greatest argument for the actual historical existence of Jesus) some very different groups all tried to claim him as their own. Imagine Dems, GOPers, Greens, Libertarians, Communists, and Perotistas all claiming one politician as their own. 4) The inspiration for Paul's missions. 5) He was, after all, the Messiah.
