Do you not think Buddha lived a moral life or taught a moral code?

Depends on how you define moral. I firmly believe many Nazi's thought they were living by a moral code and lived a moral life.

If we were not created with a purpose, the word moral really has no reference. It is as another poster said, " It is like trying to navigate a ship by the lantern at the top of the mast." That is really an excellent way to put it. Wish I'd thought of it.

Wasn't Hitler a Christian?

Do you think Buddha lived a moral life or taught a moral code, and let's go with "moral" as defined by you, not Nazis.
