I have to go with Dubya and say Jesus.


I dont wish to turn this into a religious debate but the words of Jesus may not have been his own, considering when they were written (and by whom) in relation to his death. (I agree that the the book itself though is definitely thought provoking if you approach it with an open mind).

Yeah, and Jesus said 'give all your belongings to the poor'. How can anyone even consider liking that socialist Obama-rite. Razz Laughing

Jesus has been over-rated as a thinker. Why should anyone give all his belongings to the poor? The poor are terrible at managing. That's why the poor are poor.

Philosophy is not about Jesus, economics, or dumping on the poor. Its about you. Seriously, what's the point of your being? What are you going to do about it?

Simply google philosophy and you will discover that philosophy is about religion, economics, social status, etc. Of course, it's also about the point of your being and the love of wisdom.

I noticed you misused Its, also.

I don't think Schwa is very familiar with Western philosophy, old and new. Seems he is more into the hippie Eastern stuff.

Thats a pretty small calling in life. Meanwhile, I like this thread. I like to learn what serious people are thinking about.

only rousing a lil fun out of you schwa. I agree, this is a good thread. I think philosophy is opened to all ideas. of the top of my head, I like

Russel, for questions
and
Twain, for answers

Twain was a good thinker, though some might not call him a philosopher

see, I'm not a grammar nazi

So far, the questions are far more intriguing than the answers. That's why philosophy endures. And also dies.

I'm pretty sure Jesus never said that.
