>Who is Jesus Christ?
"Well then, I will tell you. Alexander, Caesar, Charlemagne and I myself have founded great empires; but upon what did these creations of our genius depend? Upon force.
Jesus alone founded His empire upon love, and to this very day millions will die for Him. . . .
I think I understand something of human nature; and I tell you, all these were men, and I am a man; none else is like Him: Jesus Christ was more than a man. . . .
I have inspired multitudes with such an enthusiastic devotion that they would have died for me . . . but to do this is was necessary that I should be visibly present with the electric influence of my looks, my words, of my voice.
When I saw men and spoke to them, I lightened up the flame of self-devotion in their hearts. . . .
Christ alone has succeeded in so raising the mind of man toward the unseen, that it becomes insensible to the barriers of time and space.
Across a chasm of eighteen hundred years, Jesus Christ makes a demand which is beyond all others difficult to satisfy; He asks for that which a philosopher may often seek in vain at the hands of his friends, or a father of his children, or a bride of her spouse, or a man of his brother. He asks for the human heart; He will have it entirely to Himself. He demands it unconditionally; and forthwith His demand is granted. Wonderful! In defiance of time and space, the soul of man, with all its powers and faculties, becomes an annexation to the empire of Christ.
All who sincerely believe in Him, experience that remarkable, supernatural love toward Him.
This phenomenon is unaccountable; it is altogether beyond the scope of man's creative powers. Time, the great destroyer, is powerless to extinguish this sacred flame; time can neither exhaust its strength nor put a limit to its range.
This is it, which strikes me most; I have often thought of it. This it is which proves to me quite convincingly the Divinity of Jesus Christ."

Well shit, guess that settles it.

I doubt he was very sincere when he said that.
He also said Islam was the finest religion and that he preferred it to Christianity when he was ruling Egypt.
He was a deist himself and just saw religion as a tool to control people.

Nah son, Napoleon opened everything up. OP asks specifically about a man. Napoopan thinks he is more than a man.
Everybody is the most glorious man to ever live, its your job to make the world believe you though
Not many poet-warriors found their own state while single highhandedly pioneering modern politics and warfare, after diving headfirst into almost certain death countless times, but not every poet-warrior is this guy.

Alexander was far more beloved than Jesus of Nazareth ever was, and his exploits have inspired more human activity than the philosophy of that little desert Jew.
