It isn't that I don't like Dawkins, it's just that his arguments and the people I've seen him debate don't seem to be all that challenging.
I prefer listening to Neil DeGrass Tyson over any of those guys.
As for the o/p, I think the teachings of Jesus would have more closely resembled Buddha's if he was able to teach for longer. I feel his core message was very close except for a belief in a creator.
Obviously that's just my own bias but I think Jesus was alright.
I think Jesus was a great teacher, shame he didn't get a longer innings though. I have a friend who is a non-theist Christian, which actually makes a lot of sense ( though possibly not to theist Christians! ).
