I think the argument as to whether there was actually a person called Jesus is generally irrellevent--what is more important is Jesus as a symbol, how the Christians have created this Jesus what they have made him into.

I've always been curious how this one guy "stuck" whereas just about every other of the thousands of "prophets" of previous ages have been forgotten, other than Jesus and Mohammed.

I think there was a Jewish Preacher back in the day called Jesus (or Yeshua, heck) and he really got into trouble with the authorities and was nailed to the cross. Then his followers began to spread news about him, and exaggerate him into the 'Messiah' that was mentioned in the Jewish holy texts, and they began to claim that he was the son of God, cured the sick, walked on water well before GameShark was invented (HAHA) and rose from the dead. Then more and more people believed in this 'Jesus' and worshiped him.

I could be wrong, but hey, that sounds rather logical.

That sounds like the most commonly accepted version of events, and I agree with it.
