Jesus... He would be able to walk on water and carry me back home. Buddha will sink and Mohammed, well, any proof that he can walk on water?

I don't know how to say this in a way that won't offend, but would it be blasphemous for me to say that I really don't think it would be very much fun to be stranded on a desert island with any of them?
Could, for example, a devout Christian (as I've always thought myself to be) contend with utter conviction and confidence that every good Christian believes that anytime, anyhow, anywhere, any human activity, without exception, would be better, more enjoyable, and more beneficial in every way if engaged in or conducted in the company of Jesus than it would be if conducted alone or in the company of anyone else on Earth?
Or would it be more accurate to say that enjoyment or fun shouldn't be thought of as the object or even an object of such an exercise? Revelation should be the object; enlightenment should be the object; revelation and enlightenment bring rapture, which is the most heavenly experience any of us can possibly have.
Would Jesus be insulted or offended if you or I or anyone were to tell Him in all honesty that it just wouldn't feel right to be hanging out with the Lord God and worshipping Him and praising Him at the same time? Would the Lord God feel glorified to be worshipped and praised by a toady, a lickspittle?
What would we do on this desert island? Sit around and philosophize? Play gin rummy? Fish? Build a hut with a thatched roof? Read? Read what? I don't know; I'd be uncomfortable with the whole idea of such an enterprise. At the very least, I'd feel obligated to be on my best behavior from beginning to end, terrified at the prospect of making the slightest misstep, which sounds like a huge strain, very stressful, and exhausting merely to contemplate.
As I read back over what I've written so far, it sounds disgracefully irreverent and flippant. I don't mean it that way; my questions are deadly serious. But if I hope to stay out of really deep trouble, I'd probably better stop right here.

I guess I'd have to say Buddha. I'm not really for killing in the name of religion so Mohammed and Jesus are out.

Buddha!
If I had to choose a spiritual guide to get me through
the deprivations of being on a deserted island, I believe
Buddha would be the most enlightening!

Well, jesus and buddha could perform miracles....though buddha spoke against doing so.
Jesus didn't seem to mind showing off a little, though, so I guess I'd pick jesus.
