I've read a lot of religious texts in my time. I've gotten a lot of good ideas. The only thing I haven't been able to wrap my head around are the Eastern religions that believe in reincarnation.
But it seems like most of the organized religions think they need pastors or theologians to interpret the writings, which always rubbed me the wrong way. Seems like the whole point in translating writings into the vernacular is so the common folk can read it and figure it out for themselves.
I'm 71 now and closer to the end than the beginning. And I'm starting to simplify and condense what I believe and what makes sense to live my life by.
And I ran across the religion of Satchel Paige again after a number of years. To put it simply: Avoid running at all times and Don't look back, something might be gaining on you.
