Poll question: Which pacifist would win in a fight: Jesus or Buddha

None of that funny metaphysical stuff, just straight up throwin' down.

[name not needed]

1. Siddhartha Gautama

[Bunny]

2. I think they'd just go have a beer together.

I don't see no fightin'. ;)

[Liberal Veteran]

3. Jesus....he had a nasty temper when it came to hypocrites.

:)

[CanuckAmok]

23. And don't forget when he chotheslined all the moneychangers!

Don't fuck with Jesus, man!

[VOX]

4. Neither would even want to win!

There'd be a whole-lotta cheek-turnin'.

[kikiek]

5. That's what I think. Who could turn the most cheeks.

14. 2nd best answer

You get the silver

[IronLionZion]

6. Jesus was fairly hot-tempered when it came to money in temples

and I imagine Buddha may be a tad sluggish if he looks like the chinese statues. Unless it was the young fit Buddha you see in Indian statues.

15. 3rd best answer

You get the bronze

[The empressof all]

7. They are the same

We are all one.

[Champion Jack]

8. I'd rather see a fight between jesus and superman

[Rabrrrrrr]

9. Jesus would simply refuse to fight; but Buddha would not-fight,

and through not-fighting claim victory.

12. Best answer

You win the gold

[Rabrrrrrr]

13. Thanks! It was an inspired moment

:-)

[pagerbear]

19. That education has finally paid off, eh?

[Rabrrrrrr]

21. it has

:P

[BlueHandDuo]

10. It depends on...

...what you mean by "win".

Jesus would whup Gautama's ass, but it would be bad for his image.

11. Interesting that I saw so many post about God, prayer on here

and Jesus but n mention of the other guy when that poor lady poster's husband died the other night. Everyone on here was talking about God and prayer. 100's. Interesting.

I pray to God that her son made it home and it was interesting to see how many on here went through faith to God with prayers at that time and posted so.

16. Lots of us a deeply spiritual

beings, though that poster is not, so we respect her feelings on the matter.

We discuss relgious/spiritual topics all the time, sometimes contentiously, sometimes lovingly, and always thoughtfully.


Welcome to DU.

[Rabrrrrrr]

18. It was a ncie welcome, but he/she's been tombstoned already

:hi: Supernova!

Still, at least one rightwinger had her/his eyes opened to the fact that democrats aren't all Satan-worshiping anti-Christian selfish bastards.

[supernova]

20. It always amazes me

:hi: Rabrrrrrr!

When right wingers think they have a lock on religion and spiritual matters. They really should get out more. ;-)

[Rabrrrrrr]

22. It amazes me, too

Especially considering the number of high profile liberal ministers, rabbis, and etc., and the vast number of liberal churches.

But, go figure. The rightwing church leaders keep feeding the lie that anyone not in their church is evil, if they claim to be Chrsitian, so there you go. So of course the rank and file in those churches would assume that must be true, since there is no capacity to question authority in those churches.

[supernova]

17. I think they are friends

Jesus gets mad at the misuse of God and religion for purely monetary gain.

But they have so much in common I doubt they'd want to spend their time fighting/arguing.

[LostInAnomie]

24. Nope that's the rules

The gauntlet has been thrown, they have to scrap.

VS

[HEyHEY]

25. One Buddha bear hug and jesus would be squirming

[2cents]

26. Buddha goes down in 2

run him around the ring a few times and he'll drop from exhaustion.

[Noodleboy13]

27. Jesus WIns?????? No Way.

Everybody knows Buddha got the Craaaazy Kung-fu.

:P
