Yeah, even the New Testament is messed up. If you like some of the teachings, and wish to incorporate them into your life, read it like I read Plato. Sure, Plato was wrong about a ton of stuff, but he had some really good ideas too. Use your conscience and proclivity toward wisdom to discern what is valuable. Be like the wise ant (as the Eastern fable goes) who finds a grain of sugar stuck to a grain of sand. The whole thing is cumbersome and hard to carry. But what he eventually does is cut the grain of sugar away with his pincers and carries it back to the colony, leaving the grain of sand where he found it.

EDIT: It would be QUITE absurd to take a book of Plato's and treat everything in it as truth and live your life that way; don't do that with any book.
