If you could invite five figures from religious history to dinner, who would they be?

[Citizen, Evolutionary]

I'd like Marcus Aurelius, Buddha, Rabbi Hillel, Nietzche, and Carl Sagan.

[Strife]

Jesus, Satan, Adam&Eve, Moses

[dawn c]

Jesus, Paul, Joshua, Joseph, Martin Luther

[~::JAEL::~]

Jesus, Moses, Noah, Abraham, and Adam or Eve its a toss up how bout you?

[Nightshade shades of gray]

Odin, Jesus, Brigid (A celtic goddess converted into a christian saint, also pronounced "breed" And I would want to talk to the goddess not the saint.), Cali, And The great spirit.
Though I think that might be one hell of a conversation.
Damn too bad there are only 5 cause I would definatly include Buddah and Confusius in that as well.
What a fun question. Star for you.
I like it....

[James]

Adam, Enoch, Noah, Moses, and Jesus.

[ckrug]

Jesus
Moses,
Job
Simon Peter
Apostle Paul

[James M]

I only want to have dinner with one figure, and though he wrote about religion, I doubt anyone but me would recognize him as a religious figure...

Richard Hofstadter, the author of THE PARANOID STYLE OF AMERICAN POLITICS.

I like to see how he'd handle the alarmist nonsense we have to put up with today.

[Urban Aristotle]

Jesus of Nazareth- Should be obvious enough (plus, we'd need some wine)

Simon Bar Kokhba- See if he viewed himself as the Messiah

Siddhattha Gotama- Founder of the very peace-loving religion

Abu l-Qasim Muhammad ibn ‘Abd All?h al-Hashimi al-Qurashi- Get the views of Islam from its actual founder

L Ron Hubbard- Just for the heck of it

Moses cos I love sailing - no seriously - Jesus Christ, Mary Magdalen, the infamous doudting Thomas and yes Moses cos I would love to hear of his epic journey and Josephus (a religoius writer of Christ's time)
