Haruo - If there ever was a Messiah (or Christ) that walked this earth, Cyrus would be my choice. It was Cyrus that freed the Jews from Babylon but the Jews didn't recognize him as the Messiah either. Sheesh, whats it gonna take? I mean what more could you ask for? He was possible the wisest and most benevolent of any leader at any time.

Which makes me wonder how much of the Jesus myth has been taken from Zoroastrianism.
