While the rest believe that he was a truthful and honest person.
I feel that the last one is the most credible description of him after learning about his life and his affectionate treatment of others.
Did you "learn" this from the Qua ran?

Approval that morality is entirely subjective? Well I see that fr0d0 and tackattack agrees with your post and I was tempted to kudos you at first also, but then, I resisted, because I thought that it would be dishonesty to my faith if I agreed with you that morality is totally subjective. Why? Because as a Muslim, I believe that what is right and wrong also comes from God who created good and evil - as well as being subjective to certain extent - since faith is ultimately subjective in the first place. Therefore, although "morality from God" and "subjective morality" are not necessarily exclusive ideas, they can be exclusive sometimes, in certain actions which an individual thinks that the action is harmless to anyone but he still avoids doing it because such an act is forbidden according to his religion (such as playing the lottery, for example, because gambling is prohibited in Islam).
So, that's why I don't agree with you that morality is fully subjective in every single situation (morality as in "what actions are good or bad").
So someone did actually read and understand my post. Funny how the only people (Frodo and Sae) who bitched and whined about it were the ones who were not involved in the initial discussion - and the one guy who I was debating is the one guy who seems to grasp what I was saying.
