A literal follower in that time has to be worth like 1000 twitter followers today. Also account for the world population being smaller. We need an accurate inflation rate here!

I'd say 100000 twitter followers today.
She inspires XY females, a wopping 0.1% of the population. We can expect an influx of athletes.
Knowing that crucifixion is an ancient punishment for criminals...one could wonder what crime is being admitted, since the punishment was already mentioned....

0.006%
https://academic.oup.com/jcem/article/101/12/4532/2765003Can we finally stop prefacing all discussions that say XYs should be banned from women's events with the obligatory "Semenya carries herself with grace and is some one that is role model to be admired but...."

I agree.
Furthermore, Jews (at least the ones who pretend to take the Old Testament seriously) interpret the "suffering servant" in Isaiah 53 to be talking about them as the Jewish people...just saying.

How many twitter users who are alive today will have a billion followers 2,000 years from now?
If she is a Christian, she knows she should not say that. The day she is physically flogged, beaten, spat on, have a crown of thorns stuck on her head, made carry a heavy cross all over town while being flogged, then nailed onto a cross, not tied, then she can compare. Not to mention she won't be able to resurrect (according to the story in the Christian Bible)
She is no savior, not even by coincidence, she is just playing a double card that is running out of credit line.

Caster is bigger than Jesus was when he was alive.
In number of followers of course.
Fool, you forgot to factor in in the times of Jesus there was no twitter, Instagram, Facebook etc etc and still the dude manages to score 5k-20k (according to you) by just riding a donkey from town to town. Imagine if social media would have been around.

Pretty sure Castor has never read the Bible based on those quotes. Maybe he recently saw Passion of the Christ.

The Orthodox Jews split the contrasting missions of the one Messiah into two people, Ben David (conquering) and Ben Yoseph (the suffering servant), due to the need to defend their rejection of Jesus Christ. The Jews being collectively the Messiah is even more recent and sketchy.

I'll wager Caster Semenya's childhood suffering was far beyond your own. Kids with gender identity or any kind of sexuality anomalies entering the doors of high schools endure a life you have absolutely ZERO understanding of. And don't tell me life is different today and ergo, easy. One only has to look at the venom spat towards her on these boards to see a hint of just how much malice there is towards people who are different.
At what point do you think Semenya is "guilty" of cheating, given she grew up understanding and being told she's a female? When do you think she should've said "oh no, I'm a man"? And how easy do you think that might be?
When she realised she was XY, had a gender based unfair advantage, but nevertheless expected to be allowed to compete against XX women. That’s the point.
“...God is a woman
She’s up there
All you mean guys
Better beware.....”
Well Jesus is a man- so there...
This joke has been going on for too long. He is a fraud and now a raging delusional individual. It took almost a decade for the iaaf to understand how he is hurting our squirt claiming to be a female. The majority of the public gets turned off by this and does nothing for our sport. It makes it a joke.

She's not trying to say she's Jesus. She's saying she's a savior in track & field because she believes anyone man, woman, trans, born male, born female, non identifying should be able to compete against women. Deep down I think really though Caster only cares if she can run as a female as she wouldn't be able to make a career competing against men. I can't recall her taking a principled stand on rights except as they apply to herself.
This is just presumption. I think it more likely that Caster was just accepted as a woman and just took care not to be naked or have sex growing up. It was only when she started competing at a high women's level that her physical differences, as a result of her Y chromosome highlighted what she really was in terms of birth gender.
