You seem to be exemplifying my theory that people simply cannot stomach the notion that there could be an entire human institution, a centuries-old corpus of traditions and beliefs, that contains essentially zero useful information. Surely religion can't be all wrong, can it? Yes, actually, it can -- and it is.

I disagree. There is plenty of useful information in there despite the bullshit. Extracting it is simply inefficient since there are better sources.
