Yeah, and this turned me off of even reading the Bible for a long time. Now that I've started to do so, though, I find a lot of beauty and wisdom in there.

Plus, I find it significant that like 99% of the bullshit moralizing comes from Paul's various epistles. I don't feel particularly obligated to follow those.
