Quote from AJ - "From the accounts I have read of Jesus, Mohammed, and Haile Selassie, they preached peace in their speeches. Although some of the speeches definitely promote peace, and brilliantly, Selassie was involved in a war, Mohammed is known as a "war prophet", and Jesus seemed to like the "sword". Mother Theresa was far more interested in "saving" people than relieving suffering. Why would these people be sent to teach something counter to what you believe?"
They preached what would reach the people they spoke to. Mahatma Gandhi, and MLK both kept to the peaceable approach, and both were killed. Jesus is not reliably known. Historically we know he existed, but his life wasn't written about until 400 years later. While I can see him acting angrily, I cannot see him using a sword and causing loss of life.
