[Inadvertantly proving every religion ever.]
The existence of millions of believers ought to testify to the actual existence of Jesus Christ. None of the other Messiah claimants acquired such a following. I don't know of one instance of people following someone who didn't exist, do you?

Riiiiiight, because reality is always subject to majority vote.
Oy. Aside from the blatant argumentum ad populum, Jesus would lose out to Buddha (or maybe Ganesh) if you went by majority. After all, a billion Chinese (or Indians - not Native Americans, people from India) can't be wrong!
"It is proof of a base and low mind for one to wish to think with the masses or majority,
ummmm. How about the billions who follow islam, and the billions of buddhists etc etc blah blah blah

Santa Claus
But the fact that you follow the religion because others do as your mom and dad did doesn't tell you something?
But you're not alone, many who respond "yes." to a poll asking "are you a Christian?" will also respond "because I was born into it" and "I'm not affiliated with any church"
It suggests most your numbers don't really believe at all but are instead used to calling themselves Christian out of habit. In the Bible Belt it's a defense mechanism to avoid preaching or agression.

"He *is* the Messiah. And I should know, I've followed a few."
Confused?
