Under Myths & Religion, the claim that Christians don't pray to Jesus per se is flat-out wrong for any Trinitarian version of Christianity. The Orthodox have the Jesus prayer that says "Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner" and Catholics have the Fatima prayer "O my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fire of hell, lead all souls to heaven, especially those who are in most need of Thy mercy." Catholics also do Eucharistic adoration, which is literally worshipping Jesus in the form of the Eucharist, meaning they are literally praying to the consecrated bread which is said to be his real presence. Just to give a couple examples.

Monty Pythons Life Of Brian is a good catch for page quote, but I think that the part where he cannot convince he is not the Messiah either when he says he is not Messiah or when he says he is would be more appropriate.

The discussion of Islam's opinion that Christianity is this to Jesus and the South Park Scientology episode including the links to "Religion of Evil" and "Truth in Television" seem very much in violation of the "No Real Life Examples, Please" status of this page.

Add Jiddu Krishnamurti and Haile Selassie to Real Life, if you allow it.

"Siddhartha Gautama, A.K.A. Buddha." under "Real Life" category may be appropriate. Truly it is very probable (judging from Buddhism's teaching) Gautama didn't want to be worshipped when he was alive, but this mentioning seem to equate Buddhism to a Scam Religion which is obviously offensive. Please consider deleting this line or adding more explanation.
