Jesus Christ/Muhammad/Moses/Buddha

Well I only got two responses to the question so I am going to put them both in this post. The first person's responses are in blue and the second person's are in red.


Jesus Christ:
an insightful man who could take a look at the world around him and
with relative certainty predict the inevitable fate of the land,
country and people around him. The key word in that sentence was
"man". He was not an immortal or deity. He was not the healer or son
of God, whom so many claim today. I also think that he was a great
leader, an insightful leader, and an optimist who saw better of the
people around him. He tried to teach people a better existence through
meaningful stories designed to make people think about their own
action and ways to live a better life. Unfortunately...history, lies,
zealotry, and religion will forever blur the idea of a man and an
immortal deity that can damn us, kill us, help us or save us.

Son of God


Muhammad:
see JC above sans stories. He used laws instead of parables. He tried
to make the lives of his people better. Unfortunately the idea of
religion and law were never separated and now his teachings have been
slanted from so many different viewpoints his original views have been
lost.

the prophet in the Muslim religion that carries the same weight as JC, but is not the son of God (I think?)

Moses:
MLK for the Jews, but much much earlier.. He spoke up for those who
had no voice. Should have invented a compass though.

Wrote the 10 commandments, parted a sea, lead Jerusalem to freedom. Made weird bread fall from the sky too

Buddha:
Much like Moses had it all at the start. Saw that life was not the
fanciful bouquet of roses his sheltered life masked from him. Sought a
more meaningful existence through patience, self meditation, and
personal understanding.

I think buddha is in several religions? Hinduism, Buddism, etc.? I really don't know without looking it up

Summaries:

Of all of the religious leaders I think Buddha's message is the best
and least tainted through centuries of self-serving, vile "religious
leaders" that try and present themselves as only one step from God and
pray on peoples fears and faith to control them. While I don't believe
that the icons themselves were that way in reality, only that their
messages have been so tainted by centuries, its impossible to
understand their true intent.
