Disambiguous, we're not engaged in some technical debate.
OP simply asks for three choices (or nominations, if you like)
of those most influential in historical, 'religious' impact.

I dont need definitions from you regarding defintions thank you

But there is a clear difference between asking for nominations and voting.

It is no wonder people cannot understand you.

And for your further education disambiguous is not a word, I assume you
mean unambiguous.

WG, please post your three choices. Others have complied; follow suit. And, yes, I'm well aware of both the spelling and meaning of the curious word you've taken to task. Maybe an Etymology Thread by wolfgang59 in the General Forum would spare this Spirituality Forum Thread from getting itself all hijacked and garbaged up. Thanks for cooperating. Look forward to your picks.

Interesting choice. I rather think the opposite. Sure he helped end alot of persecution amongst Christians, but at what cost? Before Constantine Christians were being thrown to the lions. After Constantine supposide Christians were burning people at the stake.

It is rumored that Constantine did not even convert to Christianity until his death bed. By all accounts he used the religion to achieve political goals. Before he came on the scene the religion was relatively blameless in the eyes of the world and was part of it's charm and the reason it spread so rapidly.

You may have a good point.

I'm going to research this further.

Congratulations on being aware of the spelling of a word you have invented!

Try looking up the meaning of etymology too as you seem to have used that out of context.

"Disambiguation in Wikipedia is the process of resolving the conflicts that arise when a single term is ambiguous—when it refers to more than one topic covered by Wikipedia articles. For example, the word "Mercury" can refer to an element, a planet, a Roman god, and many other things. There are three important aspects to disambiguation." (wiki)

Disambiguation?
I am fully aware of that word and its meaning.

The "word" you used was disambiguous.

How the hell did the thread go this far without mention of Martin Luther?

The way this is going, Lex Luther would make the list before Martin Luther.

Earlier on I expressed surprise that Issac Newton charted ahead of Jesus.
