Are you assuming I'm a religious person, because I'm not. Oh and what religion are you babbling on about ? In regards to my post and the comment above me. I agree, but Islam is much more so than others. Im not being prejudiced, I'm simply arrving to the conclusion from what I see.An4Sh said:
Actually, Mohammed saved more in the koran than Jesus does in the scriptures. Problem is, when interpreted by an elitist group of people, all religions lose their good intentions and become an instrument of war and scare politics. Suicide is a mortal sin in the koran as it is in the bible, but some people found it neccesary for others tho blow themselves up for their ideas. The crusades were no better, as were the inquisitions and the jews of old. Islam just is the youngest religion and has now reached that phase in our time, with explosives, world wide instantaneous media, kalashnikovs and oil addiction.
My top five (only on western medieval culturein M&B time)
Charlemagne
Pope Urban II (sanctioning of the first crusade)
The Viking who first thought of raiding europe (unconclusive from which country they sailed)
Guy of Dampierre (the taking hostage of him led to the guldensporenslag, a turning point in the military history)
Temujin/ghenghis khan

In this thread i think it is important to remember it is the most influential whetehr it be a positive or negative. Not if they meant good or bad, whether they were sophisticated scientists or murderous barbarians (Mongols).
Just think of Time's Man of the Year. They chose Adolf Hitler in 1938 and were planning to chose Osama bin Laden in 2005.

um, i'm having trouble organizing them in importance. i'll just post the five i have in mind...
marco polo: cmon, he started exploration into the far east which caused more revolution in knowledge and culture of europe then the americas.
karl marx: the battle between socialism and capitalism STILL goes on. marx the original leftist has his ideals represented by all sorts of orginizations including the democratic party in the us
martin luther: for really kicking of the protestant movment.
napoleon for demonstrating warfare using armies divided into divisions and essentially inventing modern war.
nikolai tesla for practically inventing modern electrical engineering

2. Alexander the Great (bum from macedon, conquered major part of the known world)
3. Napoleon Bonaparte (frog who conquered the major part of europe)
4. Mohammed (wished to preach the jewish religion to arabs but after the jews refusal he made his own religion)
5. Me (someone random guy who now is writing this **** on his comp, you all know him)

I guess it was the fact that he was the first one to seriously look at the stars empirically, laying the foundations for the rest of the world in empirical science, even though his observational model of the solar system wasn't right due to the lack of data.

Understand that there is absolutely no proof of Jesus' existance outside of the Bible aside from the highly-doctored writings of Josephus.
