I truly get it, I really do see why people turn to faith in order to find their moral compass...

72. Gautama the Buddha is a much better moral compass.

The Buddha's teachings are absolutely consistent, unlike the cruelty and violence advocated by Jesus which Christians conveniently ignore. His teachings make no mention of gods. They are teachings about dealing with the human condition and the problems we all face.

There is no place where Buddha said "Kill your enemies" and therefore that part of his scriptures must be ignored.

There is no evidence in the historical record that Jesus actually existed. We have much better evidence that famous people around his time period actually existed.

There are shrines to Buddha that have his teeth and bones in them. We know that Shakyamuni Buddha actually lived.

Hundreds of monks memorized his teachings. When Buddha died at the age of 80, they wrote down all his teachings on palm leaves to preserve them.

Other good moral teachings: Secular humanism. To do good without promise of reward, because we pass this way but once.
