Guest godthedog Posted April 29, 2003 Report Posted April 29, 2003 isn't confucianism more popular in china than buddhism? i know it's the dominant religion in japan & korea.
Guest Dace59 Posted April 29, 2003 Report Posted April 29, 2003 There is the name "Jesus" It's Spainish, said Heh-zues
Guest IDrinkRatsMilk Posted April 29, 2003 Report Posted April 29, 2003 I never understood how it became fashinoable in that culture to name children after Christ, yet it doesn't happen anywhere else really. I did once know a guy named Judas though. He was black.
Guest The Amazing Rando Posted April 29, 2003 Report Posted April 29, 2003 Did the Judas you know start the "Word Association" thread?
MooreMark Posted April 29, 2003 Report Posted April 29, 2003 Lots of people name there kids after prophets in Islam.
Your Paragon of Virtue Posted April 29, 2003 Report Posted April 29, 2003 Yeah, you wouldn't believe how many Mohammeds I know, first or last name....
rising up out of the back seat-nuh Posted April 29, 2003 Report Posted April 29, 2003 Damn, i wish i was called Jesus
Guest RevEvil Posted April 30, 2003 Report Posted April 30, 2003 Yeah, you wouldn't believe how many Mohammeds I know, first or last name.... Actually that is the most popular first name for males in the world. Smith is the most common surname.
Guest Vitamin X Posted April 30, 2003 Report Posted April 30, 2003 isn't confucianism more popular in china than buddhism? i know it's the dominant religion in japan & korea. Confucianism is a philosophy, it's not a religion. Buddhism is the most dominant religion in Japan, Korea, and most liekly China (although the government, as with all communist governments, are avowedly atheist).
Guest PencilJobber Posted May 1, 2003 Report Posted May 1, 2003 Pele and Tiger Woods are pretty much known World wide but i would have to say Hitler or Einstein seeing as lots of people have no idea who Jesus is. Intrestingly i saw a survey they did on young school kids(4-8) in Asia in a newspaper last year and more of them knew Tiger Woods than any other person they were asked about including Jesus,Hitler and Einstein
rising up out of the back seat-nuh Posted May 1, 2003 Report Posted May 1, 2003 I would, actually, change my vote to pele. The most famous player of the worlds most popular sport.
Guest IDrinkRatsMilk Posted May 1, 2003 Report Posted May 1, 2003 I would, actually, change my vote to pele. The most famous player of the worlds most popular sport. You're overlooking how stupid and disinterested the average American is. That's a good chunk of people.
Guest The Metal Maniac Posted May 2, 2003 Report Posted May 2, 2003 I seem to recall hearing that, at one point, Muhammed Ali was the most recognizable athlete in the world. So while he may not be THE most famous person, I'd say he's definately up there.
