Buddha preached rationalism and non violence he denounced religious practices and he is the greatest thinker. Socrates was a philosopher not prophet. these two people encouraged people to think rationally and their teachings are not dogmatic. my vote goes to Buddha and Socrates only

You cannot put Mohammad, Buddha, Socates, Moses, and Zarthosta in the same category as Jesus Christ because Christ is the one and only Son of God. All of the other people you just mentioned are just plain human beings.

Your question is worded incorrectly. It should ask if these others can be in the same category as Jesus. All the others are still in their graves, while Jesus, after being dead for three days, came back to life and walked out of his grave. Jesus is the only way to Heaven. Jesus is the only one who was at the beginning of time, and will be at the end of time.

u can w/ Jesus and Moses cuz they're prophets of God. All 3 of their followers are called people of the book and were sent w/ messages from the on God. The other three, no offense, but no.

"Zarathrusta" is the same as Allah, God, YHWH and everything else...
I think Jesus is on a plane above all of them but yes, I think you could compare muhammad with Socrates perhaps, or Buddha... he was a teacher by divine inspiration... unless you are Islamic, in which case I think they hold him above Jesus and everyone else EXCEPT God or Allah, or whatever.

yes, why not? he was a major prophet and a major world religion has occurred based on his life/teachings. I wonder about socrates...since he was more of a philosopher and we dono't have a major world religion arising from him....but we do have a major world belief system...in logic? hmmmm. i don't know.
Categories are always a bit false and for convenience.

Jesus is on Top. His peaceful teachings have founded the biggest religion.
