http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diogenes_of_Sinope Most of the classic Hebrew prophets seem to have been inspired loners, as were the Qumran group. I would guess the Zealots placed apocalyptic nationalism above family ties. |

Neither Diogenes nor Socrates demanded exclusive devotion to themselves from their disciples.
Look, what is originality? Originality is the ability to synthesize one's culture milieu, derive its essence, and express it in a way that is redolent of one's own individual genius. This is Christ's achievement, and it is manifest in every aspect of his thought and speech. |

In todays world you could compare them to Steven Hawking and a homeless guy who stands in front of 7/11 ranting about how aliens are stealing his brain. One is a genius and the other is clearly crazy. |
