But he did some pretty bad stuff, so I'm not going to automatically assume he is any kind of moral authority.

He started a religion that has, like all of them, had a few ups but a lot of downs.

Maybe if we all started asking "What would everyone else like me to do?" instead of trying to imagine what some person who lived centuries ago wanted, we might start behaving better.
