I think he lived but it could be said he was just a loonie.

These days Louis Theroux would go and live with him for a week.

Very interesting that a loonie could have such an impact on History.

Was it Browne Issue who described Christianity as "An extra marital affair gone seriously wrong"?

One thing is sure - these days discusssing religion on cuk is as dangerous as discussing the army.

As doogie said, it's been pretty civilised. I am not sure how much influence Jesus personally has had compared to Paul.

How is that all working out so far?

Meditation is good and sure as hell doesn't require a religious belief.

Not the ones I remember. Take Claudius II. Not nuts, yet his reign saw the nadir of silver content in the antoninianus, which is fascinating from an economic perspective.
