that earthly things in moderation are good for you. variety is the spice of life. utterly useless.
Love and compassion towards your fellow man should always be one of your primary goals. flat out ass-a-nine notion here.
yep Chas, just a small part of the book is useful.
These are the sort of notions you'll find in many different belief systems and holy scriptures and self-help books, and the sort of behaviors most well-adjusted and decent people exhibit regardless of belief system. They aren't original ideas invented by the Bible's writers, and the God of the Bible exhibits virtually all of those negative behaviors, with the implication that you should do as God says and not as he does.
When you look at the Bible's exclusive content, there isn't that much of value to be found.
