 | oscargamblesfro (82) 03/13/2006 | I'm not a Buddhist, but from an OBJECTIVE standing there are four names on this list who undoubtedly rank, at the very, very worst, as 4 of the, I would guess, top 7 most influential people in history: Jesus, Mohammed, Buddha, and Moses. All 4 are 5 star figures. Buddha may not be a prophet to you, but there should be no doubt that he's a prophet to hundreds of millions of people over the last 2 and a half thousand years, and there is much that he said that was extremely praiseworthy and incredibly thoughtful.
