True, not all of it is, I just find it simpler to be a naturally good and mindful person than to pick and choose silly beliefs and rituals that subtly convey wisdom and lessons that could have been stated plainly in a paragraph rather than be stretched throughout books of inane babble, lies, violence and theocratic manipulation, coded in parables.

To put it simply, I don't need my insights and wisdom all dressed up and buried within a river of shit. I also don't believe that there is wisdom or insight within the "holy" texts that is unattainable through secular and less divisive or perverse mediums.

I understand where you are coming from. However, like most of us in the West, your opinion on religion seems to be largely determined by your experiences with Christianity and perhaps the other Abrahamic Monotheisms of Judaism and Islam.

Before you write off religion entirely, I would highly recommend you make a study of Buddhism and some aspects of Hinduism. In particular, I recommend everyone read the book "The Dhammaphada" which is the recorded teachings of the Buddha.

The Dhammaphada is highly insightful, full of practical wisdom that anyone can benefit from.

I also recommend the study of the Upanishads and the reading of the Bhagavad Gita. I especially recommend everyone read the Tao Teh Ching. All four of those books are full of profound wisdom, deep insight and beautiful poetic writing.
