Before you get into statistics, you better have a look at logic.

To start with, you will be unable to provide any reliable statistical data showing that 250,000 people think they are Jesus, so you are building your argument on a faulty premise, to be kind.

In any event, even if there are 250,000 people who think they're Jesus, this unlikely fact has zero bearing on any other issue, unless, as I noted, you're trying to cast that characterization on those who assemble to protest the war, or to marginalize them somehow by this association.

I remind you that it is a fundamental right of the citizens of this country to peacefully assemble and voice their views. When the people assemble, our elected representatives are supposed to listen to these people, not to some spin doctor who's trying to tell them that a throng of a hundred thousand, or even a thousand, is just "statistical noise."
