WWJ (et al) T?

I have often wondered what the original realizers of the world's religions & philosophies would think of their ontologies in today's context and practices. What would Jesus have to say of modern Christians? What would Siddartha Gautama have to say of modern Buddhism? What would Mohammed have to say of modern Islam? (etc etc). I am sure, given their awareness, that they would take into consideration the much larger world population as a cause of their original teachings being watered down in some circles, but would they be pleased by the respected, and/or appointed modern "masters" of their particular religion/philosophy?
