That being said, somethings, such as common sense morals, dont need to come from a book or from some made up god. I am a very morally driven person. But i dont believe in god. I do what is right because i truly believe it and that it is the way i would also like to be treated. Not because i think i might go to some theme park in the sky if i do, or to hell if i dont.
You are correct, morals don't need to come from the Bible. But that doesn't mean that the Bible doesn't have absolutely everything you need to know on how to live a better life as a better person, and how to get through problems that you may face. (And by better person, I don't mean someone who doesn't have sex or curse, and follows all the rules. I mean how to be a good-hearted person. How to forgive people. How to not judge people. How to always see the good in people etc.
I didn't even need the bible to know how to be a good-hearted person, but it is still in there, and I still get some good advice when I am having my doubts of being the bigger man in some cases.
is it normal to have a religion, but disliking it's current structure?
