If Christ was born in this age, and he started talking among people... ... Well... Would anyone listen to him?
| Just visit Las Vegas and you will see Jesus everywhere. |
 |
| People would treat him like a madman probably. Plus he wouldn't get the martyr death he'd wish for, instead he'd end up posting selfies on Facebook or something. |
| Thanks to wonderful inventions such as "internet" and "transportation that takes less than a treacherous month to travel anywhere other than your isolated village in the desert" and "literacy", it's a bit harder nowadays to persuade the average joe to buy into your swindling bullshit. |
 |
| Getting people to listen to you now would be 1000 times easier than in Roman Times. In the bible you can see that the Roman government was very religious and not opposed to silencing anyone who preached something different to their views or who amassed too much power. But now (most places) have free exchange of information. And the internet so a message can spread much faster, to much further places. |
 |
| Dostoevsky wrote a book that's sort of about that, except it takes place about 1,5 centuries ago, it's titled "The Idiot" and it sums up how people would treat Jesus(of course the protagonist is not called Jesus, but it's very easy to see who the main character represents) in the more recent times. |
 |
| Doubt Christianity would even be a thing in this age if Jesus were to be born now rather than 2,000 years ago. |
| He'd just have to do what he did before, turn some water into wine and whatnot |
 |
| We don't put people to death so I doubt it, but if we're to believe religion anyway then anything's possible too. Joseph Smith could do it. Apparantly people rose from the dead constantly in those days, people got possessed, rose from graves in the 100's etc. But people still didn't believe because it probably didn't happen. If people rise from their graves in 100's that shit would be beleived in other areas of the globe and documented in detail not just a new testament verse. |

| Depends: If hes just a normal man: people will think hes another crazy fanatic, albeit a more peaceful fanatic. If he has his superpowers from the bible, I can see him gathering a large following and being assasinated by the FBI |
 The peasant is bound by the king. The king is bound by the peasants and their kingdom. But the Viking is bound to nothing but themselves. |
null said: He'd just have to do what he did before, turn some water into wine and whatnot Even I can do that. Modern magicians pull off way better stuff than Jesus. Walking on water and feeding some mob with fish wouldn't even make it to the news. It's pretty hard to think of something that the Messiah could provide people with. Maybe he could use his magic to help environment or create some kind of new divine power source. |
| i think yeah, if he put enough effort people these days believe all kinds of shit and are so easily brainwashed :-) |
 |
| Yeah, they would. I sincerely believe a true prophet would be listened in any century. |
   |
| He was just a minority group Most Jews don't like him, obviously not the Romans as well. Who would treat a man claiming himself the son of God as a sane person nowadays? |
| thatd be pretty cool honestly, but like his depictions in family guy and south park, hed only have a few close friends and wouldnt be officially recognised by the masses |

Wait...didn't he already show up? Announced joyously and with great rapture by his devine heralds (CBS, NBC, CNN, ABC, etc)? And showered with gifts on arrival (Peace Prize)? |

| He was known as an intelligent teacher in his time and if he truly acted the same as he did back then I believe the people around him would respect him and treat him as an important person. Because of the myths about him turning water into wine, walking on water, and being the son of God some people might not believe him to truly be Jesus at first since in reality is a mortal human without magical powers but I think people would grow to accept him for who he really is and eventually it wouldn't even matter that he doesn't fit the fictitious description that some ancient book put upon him. |
  |
| Nah, people aren't as desperate as before. The cops would more than likely taze him if anything thinking he's a lunatic. |
 |
| I don't believe the guy existed in the first place, the only proof we have is a book. From that reasoning we should believe that manga characters are real and roaming around, that's just stupid if you ask me. |
 |
| people aren't as ignorant as they were back then, so he'd probably have to give up im sure he'd have a small cult though |
 Oh maybe, maybe it's the clothes we wear The tasteless bracelets and the dye in our hair Or maybe, maybe it's our nowhere towns or our nothing places But we're trash, you and me We're the litter on the breeze We're the lovers on the streets Just trash, me and you It's in everything we do It's in everything we do |
| Dude would have to perform a miracle to live TV coverage with experts in the audience (physicists, magicians & illusionists who could recognize trickery). THAT would be mind-blowing. However, I doubt that spaghetti-monster-kun would bother to grace us with His/Her/It's tomatoe-y, noodle-y presence in the first place. |

| Someone would record when he's preaching and upload it into Youtube. We'd all laugh at him and comment how this madman is still not rehabilitated. |
| There are sages alive in this age, and yes people do listen. Just not a large number of them. |
| I CELEBRATE myself, And what I assume you shall assume, For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you. |
If Jesus was on this Earth, he has surely left by now. Luckily, he blessed us with a parting gift of the Cubs winning. |
| Your local crazy hobo may actual be Jesus. They both have beards, live the humble life and spout how to live. But do you listen to him? My case is settled. |
| If he somehow proved that he was Jesus, I think everyone would be like AAAAAH WTF and I feel like the excitement would not fade. After all, religion isn't really a trend. |
  |
| That is hard to imagine because a lot of the things in the world today were shaped by his birth 2,000 years ago. You'd have to first imagine what things would be like if he weren't born, then him appearing in the present in such a world. If you want to keep things the way they are now, a lot of it would be redundant because of that prior influence, and he would be hated by just as many people because he'd be seen as the ultimate goody two-shoes. Heck, a lot of people who call themselves Christians would most likely crucify him. |
| "Let Justice Be Done!" My Theme Fight again, fight again for justice! |
| He would probably valiantly try to save humanity from the cess pit they have become....and utterly fail fall into depression and commit suicide like he did the first time around. Hey man we going down we're GOING DOWN TO HELL BABY WW3 woop woop! let humanity finally fall to its own darkness and be swallowed whole forever. I imagine the person to finally break the spirit of Jesus himself would be transcendent. Imagine the son of God falling from grace into darkness. We got the devil from an angel but Christ inverted into a symbol of despair would be sexual apocalyptic. you know if you believe all that kind of thing. |
 |
| No one would believe it to be true unless he showed off some miracle/wizardry power. |
|
| I think Jesus would be too busy playing Overwatch to preach. Maybe Overwatch is the true second coming of Christ. |
| "No, son, you may not have your body pillow at the dinner table!" |
| I'm actually curious as to how he would look and what form of media he'd use to get his message across. Chances are, the internet won't treat him nicely. |
| People are obsessed over some people just because they can sing. I think everyone would go crazy over someone that can cure blindness. |
 |
| He'd be ghetto af yo. You think Eminem was a rap God, nah uh bruh, Jesus is the one true rap god. |

In real life, I am one of the coldest, unsympathetic, people you'll ever know, who's grown up in an even colder household, you really don't want me to break my persona, I know how to make people feel bad.

| It would start out as a cult same as it originally did. There are lots of cults out theree. I dont think it would have gotten so big though. |

| Yes, if he did exist as he did in the bible, and he showed his miracles, the attitudes of people would be changed, even in this time |
| i used to be a christian, i would go to his lecture by pure curiousity but i dont see myself becoming christian again |
 |
| I honestly think Jesus would be a forgotten figure if he were born today, not only because we as a whole are much more skeptical than ever but because frankly very few people care about being "saved" or "redeemed" or "forgiven". Instead, all we do is continue our cycle of ignorance and corruption, and shake our heads at anyone that offers another point of view. |
| He already was, in Austria year 1889 but spawns of satan got rid of him in 1945 . |
| I bet he will be the next pope or something who knows? |
| Somehow I would picture him being the tipycal homeless guy who is too drunk and just mumbles weird things to people. |
