Buddha was a philosopher, and so was Jesus.  Would you say they had poor social skills? Big Grin

I can't attest to each's particular skill...though all three were considered outcasts to varying degree.

They must have been liked by someone, what with the persistence of stories, written books, and millions of followers thousands of years after their lives.  I'm pretty sure there won't be bombing attacks about bennyboyism in the year 4000.

Sure, in retrospect...by the very impetus of their former outcast status.

Yeah, Jesus wasn't getting any attention for doing regular goat-fucking stuff. So he started talking a load of shit, figuring negative attention was better than none. He ended up getting more "attention" than he bargained for. He got attentioned to death to shut his stupid ass up.
