Jesus or Buddha: Who’s better?
Categories: Faith, Fun

Some of my Christian friends are getting into Zen these days and so I thought I might offer a statistical method for deciding who’s cooler: Buddha or Jesus.

Jesus Buddha  
1 Commandment +1 8 fold path +8
Nice hair +1 Bald -1
followers chant meaningless songs -10 ditto -10
174,000,000 Google results +1 21,600,000 Google results -1
image 0 image 0
Rose from the dead +5 Died of bad cooking -1
image +1 image -1
Final score: -1   -6

Jesus wins.

  1. Yeah, but what about Moses? My comparison of the Moses and Jesus action figures suggested a close contest.
