You are saying that if Jesus was born today, as opposed to 2000 years ago, he would not be accepted as the Messiah by Western cultures, and that it's very possible that the country in which he was born, in the Middle East, would make sure he was killed?

You're also saying that bin Laden could inspire his own religion? and that the Western world won't be around long anyhow?
