I think it would depend partly on how He acted. L Ron Hubbard's behaviour caused a lot of people to distrust him. Jesus practiced what He preached.

If someone wants to accuse us of eating coconut shells, then that's their business. We know what we're doing. - Achaan Chah...assuming he preached roughly the same things, but adjusted for modern times?
He'd be looked at as a radical Leftist by the Religious Right and an uncompromising firebreather by the Left.
In other words, he'd be treated like shit, just like he was in the Bible...
I am now known as Flyboy.I did as well.
I imagine he is pretty alarmed at suddenly being transported 2000 years into the future. People are also going to have a hard time believing that this weird Arab guy is Jesus. That is, if they understand Aramaic.

HOLY FUCKING SHIT IT ALL MAKES SENSE.
Wow. Jesus came back as a flaming fruit vendor and nobody even noticed. My world is complete.
He does

And let us pray that come it may (As come it will for a' that)@7: You're also supposed to have a definite article: The Buddha. A Buddha would be anyone who achieves enlightenment and stays on Earth to help others on their journey (IIRC.) The Buddha is Siddharta Gautama. (Probably spelled that wrong.)
I seem to recall a comedian saying that if Jesus had been born in the modern times and in Texas, he would've been electrified or lynched before he became famous. Don't remember who it was, though...
If Jesus could prove that he could do miracles, Richard Dawkins would believe him. If Jesus could prove the God hypothesis correct (making it the God theory,) Dawkins and any other dedicated scientist would accept it. Dawkins makes this point in The God Delusion.
He also says, though, that he's seen Penn and Teller perform a trick involving catching bullets with their teeth that Dawkins really doesn't know how to explain it; but he comes to the conclusion that it's more reasonable, in that particular case, to take the trick as evidence that Penn and Teller are very talented illusionists, rather than that magic is real. Still, if they could perform the trick in an environment in which all kinds of tests were made to determine the trick behind their ...trick, and if the evidence would point to the existence of magic, then the magic hypothesis would have to become the magic theory.
(Obviously, magicians generally don't willingly subject their tricks to scientific testing, and neither does the audience desire that; the whole point is that you're left in awe of the trick but also knowing that it's just that: a trick. Most stage magicians would never seriously claim that what they're doing is magic; instead, as they'll say in a serious context, it's illusions for the purpose of entertainment. If you do tricks and claim they're real magic, you get James Randi after you. He already busted Uri Geller, so unless you're absolutely fantastic, at that point you've no hope.)

On this thread I notice a lot of you prefer Jesus to his followers and thats understanding.I was thinking what if Jesus was born in the modern world and what would you think of him.
