The character "Jesus", for the most part, taught goodness. I agree with that. The book itself is full of retchedness and wickedness and downright evil, mostly perpetrated by the character called "God". That's how I see it.
Most of the 'goodness' taught by the Jesus character, however, is common to nearly all cultures. The Golden Rule is not of biblical origins.
