Religion is useless to you if you reduce it to a moral code

Religion is useless to you if you reduce it to a moral code. You don't need religion for that. All you need for that is a todo list. (Or a todon't list.) All the "you need to live this way" or "you need to believe in this" parts of religion are just people putting their own spin on the information. 

Any worthwhile religion is trying to tell you that there is way more to being alive than meets the eye. 

We have all these capacities and possibilities that we don't pay much attention to, but which we can access and incorporate into our daily experience with just a little bit of work. Illustrating that work and pointing to those possibilities are what religion is really for. If your religion can't or won't do that for you, find a new one.

Ever forward.
