Who Are The Best and Worst People Of All Time?

I just ran across a very inter­est­ing web­site by Clif­ford Pick­over which pur­ports to rank the best and worst peo­ple in all of his­to­ry.

Here are his picks:

Evil Peo­ple
1. Tomas de Torque­ma­da
2. Vlad Tepes (Vlad the Impaler)
3. Adolph Hitler
4. Ivan the Ter­ri­ble
5. Adolph Eich­mann
6. Pol Pot
7. Mao Tse-tung
8. Idi Amin
9. Joseph Stal­in
10. Genghis Khan
11. H. H. Holmes
12. Gilles de Rais

Good Peo­ple
1. Bud­dha
2. Baha’u’l­lah
3. Dalai Lama
4. Jesus Christ
5. Moses
6. Moth­er There­sa
7. Abra­ham Lin­coln
8. Mar­tin Luther King
9. Mohan­das Gand­hi

Obvi­ous­ly, we as Chris­tians would rad­i­cal­ly dif­fer in his assess­ment of Jesus, and I per­son­al­ly have ques­tions about the rel­a­tive rank­ing of many indi­vid­u­als on his list. Still, the exer­cise is an intrigu­ing one: who would you rank as the most right­eous and most vile peo­ple of all time?
