* Speeches in stadiums filled with mesmerized, adoring audiences - Check
Jesus. Though Jerusalem didn't have stadiums, he drew a big crowd at the beach and on an olive hill.
* An uninspiring background before meteoric rise - Check
Jesus. With the exception of his 12-year old temple trip, he came out of nowhere.
* Creates his own new symbols of power - Check
Jesus.
* Associates with racists, hatemongers and violent radicals - Check
Hitler. Though Jesus mingled with the controversial, the adultress had nothing on Nazis.
* A propaganda machine willing to show him only in the best possible light - Check
Hitler. Jesus was ratted out by a disciple and one of his most trusted denied him three times.
* Uses, “glorious leader” style Agitprop posters common in totalitarian nations - Check (see German campaign poster for example)
Hitler. The literature didn't come out for some time after Jesus was gone.

Hitler, unless you count the Danites.

Jesus. A lot of people have been wielding Jesus for illicit purposes.
* Often dismissed as a light-weight by his opponents - Check
Jesus. Boy did they underestimate him.
* Seeks to replace God with the State - Check
Hitler. Give Jesus credit for recognizing the difference between God and Government.
* People adopting his name as their own - Check
Jesus. Everybody has met a Jesus.
* Inspires adoration art - Check
Jesus in a landslide.

Hitler. I don't believe Germany was around in 0 A.D., but I could be wrong.
* Never plans on giving up power - Check (Obama to be president for the next “eight to 10 years”)
Jesus. Eternity is a long time.
* A narcissistic megalomaniac - Check
Hitler. Jesus wanted to give honor to the Father.

Hitler. Jesus just wants credit for his accomplishments.
* Wants to build “youth” movement through State service - Check
Hitler. Jesus just uses EFY.
* Acts as if in power before he is - Check
