When you look at modern religions and cults that have sprung up in the recent past, does it give you pause? [Spirituality & Religion]

Does it make you wonder about people like Jesus and Mohammed?


Look at L. Ron Hubbard who was a science-fiction writer and now is exulted amongst Scientologists.
Look at Joseph Smith, a convicted conman who is now recognized as a man with a direct line to God by the Mormons.
And look at any number of "spiritual leaders" who amass followings of people who believe with their whole heart and soul that this person is an enlightened master working for god...

What makes Jesus different from those people other than that his religion caught on?
