    I didn't know where to post this but its simple really. I thought we could get a more balanced discussion perhaps in here. Not saying did either of them have any powers or anything but if it came down to it, who would you follow?

    I'd go for Jesus. The bar tricks are kinda cool. Don't know much about the other chap.

    Inevitable twitter joke.

    Probably Muhammad, because unlike Jesus I'm certain that he existed, and also unlike Jesus he was probably mentally healthy.

    Still, I think I'd rather go it alone and become a prophet myself than follow either one of them. There are plenty of other prophets out there I'd sooner follow.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,740 ✭✭✭chughes


    I think I'd vote for the People before Prophets.

    I choose Daddy! No, chips! No, Daddy! Oh, it's just so hard to pick.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 81,220 ✭✭✭✭biko


    Muhammad Ali is my only vote


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,388 ✭✭✭gbee


    David Koresh, he even looked like a Jesus reincarnation and I understand, not necessarily believe, that he spoke to Jesus.

    Jesus was a cool dude, he hung out with a bunch of freaks, had little hangups for alcohol and enjoyed the company of a good woman.

    Typical united supporter type of block with a bit of anti establishment and rabble rousing thrown in and good for few tall yarns in the booser afterwards.

    What's not to like? :)

    Naturally I've confined my opinions to JC, I don't want to attract a Fatwa or a suicide bomber to my house by discussing the ...... other guy ... shhhhhh.

    Well compared to the mass murderer Yahweh, Jesus was a pacifist. So, yup, that performance was terrible.

    An illiterate who told people he heard god talking to him, he couldn't write so he got people to take notes. He married a 6 year old and slept with her when she was 9. Apparently, Allah refers to him as the perfect man. He is basically to his time what the fella who founded Mormonism was for his.

    Didn't Mo have a flying horse? It's my impression - though I'm open to correction - that Muslims believe that Mohammed literally flew, on his horse, from Mecca, or one of the cities in Arabia, to Jerusalem, and where he landed is where they built the mosque on the Temple Mount. Flying horse has got to be worth some extra points, no?

    Both are messengers, I am researcher, for me both preached peace but it's people who changed their teachings. So i vote Prophets rather people. Because majority of people follow customs, traditions, ritual,cultures in which they grow even majority of people don't think for themselves rather they follow other people's quotes. Suppose i am christian, I will not learn what actually musilms believe by reading their scripture, but what i will do, i follow other Christians who say, Muslims are stipud, Muhammad was false prophet etc. That's what majority of christian are doing and Same case is applied to Muslims. So majority of atheist are doing the same thing, they don't research but follow other people's writing, history So they can't unfold the truth. I was also once at this stage

    Thread going off topic..

    So who would be the better leader?

    ^^ Sorry Keith - you're right.
    Have moved all the rubbish to a new thread. :)

    On topic posts only here now...

    Mo united the tribes and slaughtered his enemies.

    Jesus liked to organise gatherings and open air picnics, where he would preach about peace and love.

    I feel Jesus would probably succeed better than Mo if they were both around nowadays. He would embrace twitter and facebook, whereas Mo would find himself locked up pretty quickly.

    It was a flying donkey, even better!

    Muhammed had an army and scimitars as was all like *peow* *peow* to his enemies, he probably had some badass armour too. He also got all the chicks.

    Jesus couldnt even score an ex-hooker, walked on water despite the facts there were boats fúcking everywhere, spoke like splinter from the turtles and made really ****ty shelves

    So I'd follow Megatron


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,992 ✭✭✭✭recedite


    and made really ****ty shelves
    I've heard many things said about Him, but His not being able to put up shelves properly is a new one. Mind you, He did give up being a carpenter very early in his career....

    It was only dicovered after the discovery of the Nag Hamadi library in 'The gospel according to the disgruntled customer'
