Haha. good call, Buffto.
On a purely philosophical level, however, i have to agree with those who say Abraham. If someone can be the spawn of belief systems that, every day contribute to the deaths of lots folks all around the world (and particularly in the middle east), and on certain days bring millions of them together in joyous reverence, I'd say that they're fairly influential. it may seem a rudimentary connection, being as other people helped out, but not at the same time, but it's there nonetheless. to those who would argue Buddha and prophets of other eastern faiths, from my standpoint, the fact that there's more commotion from abraham's folks than their's, in my eyes makes it more influential.
