Is Derren Brown the second coming of Christ?
Or, on a more serious note.. Could he not, as a gifted and knowledgeable magician, have duped us all into believing this - had we still been as gullible as we were 2000 years ago?

Yes he could have. But I don't believe Jesus was a magician... or even a real human. He appears to have been put together from a number of different religious fairy tales that were popular at the time.
As for the stories of his miracles, pure myth, tall tales and legend. The kind of thing that happens when a story is passed down verbally over many generations... it gets wilder each time.

Lol, there are a lot of people that are taken this a little bit too serious as the question is obviously asked a bit tongue in cheek.
I do agree however that if Darren Brown was around 2000 years ago doing the same tricks, than people would think he was performing miracles. Perhaps Jesus was nothing more than a talented magician.

If I'm reading this right, you are asking if Jesus might have been a trixter too. Personally, I reckon Jesus was grossly misrepresented by Matthew, Mark, Luke, John and Nicaea. I reckon he was just a charismatic philosopher who rejected the dogma of the cult of YHWH, and gained a following by standing up to it. Then he got shoe-horned into Isaiah's messiah role.
Still, he probably doesn't mind on account of being dead.

Christ never showed up the first time. Aliens would be biological life forms subject to evolution on their home worlds.

I was gutted to discover that Derren Brown is gay...otherwise I'd have been more than happy to be at his second coming...

I have it on good authority that Christ returned to earth early in the twentieth century as Charlie Chaplin.

All magic is trickery and slight of hand. If this is all Christ was, there's one less reason to believe in his deity.

Derren Brown does nothing miraculous or even 'cool'. All of his 'magic' is just tricks. LIES!
