Jesus is the only reason I tolerate the bible in any capacity. It's just a shame that seemingly more people who beleive in it put more stock in the magical hocus pocus and not the moral lessons taught by the dude they name drop the most.

Humming “always look on the bright side of life”
I don't know anything about him, because all we have is fan fiction written centuries after his supposed existence.
He said some pretty things which you can cherrypick, sure.
He also said that if your eye causes you to sin you should tear it out, that you should leave you family to follow him, that if someone slaps you on one cheek, you should offer them the other cheek to slap, and that if you don't do all that or believe he exists, you'll be tortured in a lake of fire forever. Not to mention all the stuff in Revelation where he tramples people with their blood 'like a winepress', and has a sword coming from his mouth, and everything.
Just normal healthy stuff, right? /s
In general, negatively. Some of his teachings match with modern moral ideas, but many more are horrifically backwards and cultlike, and major contributors to the current state of the religion which bears his name.
