Why are you already stipulating rules on the opinions of others' views of who a hero can be and who cannot?
If Christ is a hero to some, is it fair to disregard their admiration because he is too easy and/or controversial? I can understand the potential conflicts you are trying to prevent by some who argue the merits, importance, existence of God and his prophets, but it seems disingenuous to rule them out entirely just to avoid disputes.
Also, to clarify on the nebulous parameters of the thread, are we to offer insight on The known world's greatest heroes, or those within our own sheltered existence?
