I seriously dislike it when people say "Jesus doesn't exist." I would encourage them to watch the movie "Son of God" or "The Passion of Jesus Christ." That movie makes me feel as if I'm actually in the scene, and it's painful to watch the acting. Jesus will always be number one, regardless of others' opinions. There will never be anyone else so powerful, beautiful, graceful, and wonderful. This world is mistaken. Jesus never comes in second place. He's always first, before anybody else!
Being the Son of God is an achievement in and of itself. It's even more amazing considering he established his own religion (although he's just the son) and had the ability to heal the sick, likely due to his goodwill and kindness to all. But if you are Christian or have watched The Passion of the Christ, you know just how much he suffered to save us all. So, he's also the greatest thing to have ever lived.
I have my own religion called Majd-Allah, and here are our views on the Buddha. He was a great prince. When he was said to have achieved enlightenment, Abrahamists (Followers of Majd-Allah) believe that he didn't but thought he did. Even though he followed a different religion other than the Abrahamic faiths, he was still a good man. He surely will go to Heaven (Jannah) on the day of the Lord.
A true saint, and truly peaceful.
Either him, Muhammad, or Jesus should be at the #1 spot, not a rapist who is, at this time of writing, imprisoned until 2037!
He gave scientific religion to the world.
Lucky us, we all do bad stuff sometimes. Abraham wasn't perfect. He wasn't God. So, do you expect him to be perfect and always do good?
He did some bad stuff, but he's a good guy.
He was a great leader, but his people are the ones who disobeyed God.
Here are the Majd-Allah views on Muhammad. He was the seal of the prophets and the messenger of God. He was a Christian man to whom the angel Gabriel revealed the Quran. When it says that God hasn't begotten anyone, it actually means that He didn't reproduce Jesus and that it has a different meaning. Jesus Christ, the Bible, the Quran, and the Prophets are what we focus on.
He proved to be a successful leader, warrior, religious leader, and in every field of life, he is an embodiment.
The blessing of worlds, the light of worlds, the seal of prophets. We love you, Muhammad. You are in our hearts.
The Newcomers
The 14th Dalai Lama is the current Dalai Lama. Dalai Lamas are important monks of the Gelug school, the newest school of Tibetan Buddhism, which was formally headed by the Ganden Tripas.
One of the very top virtuous representatives of humanity of all time.
Mother of the Eternal Son of God. Greatest Saint of all time.
She is the Mother of Our Lord and God.
He taught that all religions are the same... We should not measure religion or God in percentage... God is one... Always be one...
Taught all religions are the same.
Taught equal rights.
I wish he were alive today.
Guru Gobind Singh was a great religious leader of the Sikh faith who defended his faith against the Mughal emperors invading India, who sought to rule and convert everyone to Islam. He spent many years meditating in silence in the Himalayas, clarifying his vision for defending Sikhs from oppression. Despite the murder of all his four sons by the Mughals, he remained steadfast in his mission. He taught Sikhs to pray but also to fight in defense of their faith. He created the Khalsa, which remains the image of the Sikhs to this day. He deserves to be revered and placed in the top ten.
He is the greatest sacrificing Guru.
One of the greatest humans in history, sadly all religions after him stole his teachings and sold them off as their own.
Judaism, Christianity, and Islam follow his philosophy. He should be number 1.
