Was Jesus a great moral teacher?

RE: Was Jesus a great moral teacher?
Well that's super that Jesus was better than some people of his time. The difference between him and Lincoln is that he's supposed to serve/be a higher power that can see into the far future, or have knowledge beyond any human being and can see that things like equality can work. Women can be equal to men. People of different color can be just as good as each other if they truly have the same opportunities. There are better ways of dealing with people who do wrong than to just kill them all. That adults should be able to do whatever they want without persecution, as all as all parties are consentual.

Basically, things that took us thousands of years to figure out, he should have already known. You can't compare Jesus to Lincoln.

Good video to watch, if you want to know how common the Jesus story really is.
