is there a god?

Well, lets start there then.

How do you stand on what he taught, and how it affected the people who met him?

And, you absolutely have NO NEED for a God to exist in order to have an OBJECTIVE foundation for morality. I do not subscribe to relativism, subjectivism, skepticism, or logical positivism.

FYI: I was once a very very very very crazyily devout CATHOLIC.
Then I spiritually converted to protestant Christianity.
Later, due to some inconsistancies and dissatisfaction, I tried to understand Islam and Judaism.
None of that worked for me... didn't make all the sense I wanted God to make.
Then I looked at non-deistic religions like Buddhism, Jainism... nah. Those were worse!
Then I found Atheism! Almost like my own personal religion. Only, I know it's better.. and TRUE! And now I feel so good, and "enlightened" and great about living this wonderful life!
