Who is the best man and why?

the one who turned his direction away from the fire because he helped save him from bad afterlife.

fire = hell firguratively

Yeah, this is some metaphor about why you always feel you need to annoy atheists by trying to convert them isn't it?

The fact of the matter is that he's still insane and might just run off a cliff. The best man would restrain him until the men in the white coats came.

None of them are. The best man would be the Republican who calls the guy a socialist moocher looking for a hand out. But be sure to (illegally) register him as a voter before he heads into the fire.

See Psalms 37:37 about the perfect (best) man:

The end (not begin) of that man (J-->C) is peace

So it's not Jesus = division, not peace,

but it is Christ = peace, not divided

For perfection has no Jesus f-laws

And better is neither yet best nor yet rest

The one running towards the fire; because he's not afraid.

The fear of death is the most unjustified of all fears, for there's no risk of accident for someone who's dead.

Albert Einstein.

None, because they all contributed to helping this poor man survive. They are all equal.

Obviously the one that turns his direction away from the fire but if the fire doesn't exist then all of the others.

That last guy is a douche, now they miss out on a free BBQ dinner.

I'm not sure I was too busy chasing some crazy naked guy towards the fire.

They're all equal under the eyes of God. They are all great men :)
