Five religious leaders stuck in a room. Moses speaks first.
A poll conducted by Dr. Cliff Pickover illustrates that if the world’s five religious leaders (Jesus, Moses, Buddha, Confucius, and Mohammad) were in a room together, Moses would be the first to speak.
The poll was conducted on Polls Boutique asking: “If Jesus, Moses, Mohammad, Buddha, and Confucius were gathered in a room, who would be the first to speak? What would he say?”.
Over 400 respondents answered and placed Moses in first place with a third of the total votes, and Buddha coming in last place. It seems individuals have placed the religious from Eastern countries as more reserved, and the Western world as outspoken.
Results were as follows: Moses – 33%, Mohammad – 27%, Jesus – 21%, Confucius – 11%, and Buddha – 8%.
