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?

1) its it my thread and i can stipulate whatever rules i choose. it wont stop anyone from posting what they think. if you want to tell me that jesus is the worlds greatest man, then you can do that. so long as you give me someone that isnt a religious figure.
2) if you want to start another thread on the world greatest people that includes religious figures then so be it. i have no problem with that either. i just see a thread that includes religious figures as one that will degenerate ito a farce. and its not my intention. this isnt tilted politics and its not tilted philosophy.
and to answer your query - if you think alf from melmac is the worlds gretest hero..or marvin the martian..yes you can mention them. i see superman has already come up.
