Who could object to Jesus, a man who taught total love and brotherhood and who laid down his life for those beliefs? Whether or not he was the son of God, the guy had balls.

He is objected to, to this very day. Why? He was considered by the Roman government as an insurrectionist too dangerous to live, hated by the religious leaders of the day who called Him a drunk, He confused the politicians, and He offended everybody in sight, when He wasn't teaching, healing and ministering to the sick and lost.

That's MY kind of leader. He is My Savior. No one else comes close to who He is!

"He was considered by the Roman government as an insurrectionist too dangerous to live,"

No. John 19:12 says Pilot tried to set Jesus free. He was intimidated by the Jews who posed the threat to him. Pilot turned the matter over to the crowds controlled by the guardians of doctrine.

"He offended everybody in sight"

No He did not. Note the crowds that had gathered on Palm Sunday. Those were crowds that recognized Him of their own free will. Those folks were present during His passion, crucifiction, and after His resurection.
