Holy equivocation, Batman! There you go again...

The Jesus which Erhman (according to you) says existed was a human being. He was not responsible for morality, it existed well before 2000 years ago. Many people do (selectively, to a greater or lesser extent) follow his moral teachings, but they were not original.
