I tend to agree. While the Bible is clearly not factually accurate (bats are not birds, bushes don't speak with human voice), there are bits and bobs of it while, not unique or original to the Bible, are clearly good advice:
-Treat people fairly.
-Help the poor.
-Keep an eye on your neighbour's goods.
-Gain understanding.
-Don't forsake your friends.
I don't think it matters that most of these and the other worthwhile bits are - in context - to get one in good with God. They, in and of themselves, are good advice and to reject them simple because they appear in the Bible, is, well...nutty.
