Even if you want to believe in his teachings, you have to pick and choose because the whole tale is an inconsistent mess. So you can't really say you're following a person if you don't have a consistent model. Why is it no one can just admit that they're their own moral compass reader? It's not as if a religious figure is a paragon of virtues anyway, or the originator of good ideas. It seems as if the main problem with that is tying the ideas to a person rather than giving the ideas themselves the credit. And the identity of the speaker or creator is irrelevant to the content or value of the concepts they put forth. Even the wishy-washy Xchans who half-ass their indoctrination manage to blind their kids to this.
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?
