I don't know why this good advice is downvoted, and looks like mine will too.

I don't understand why people still consider literature written by human with nowadays language to must be either perfect or it's worthless.

Also how they see a form of government that declared they're adopting one religion teaching and using it as argument proof / point.

We will spiralling down to whataboutism soon like this. Cherry picks the good ones are fine, and people do that everyday. Just don't cherry pick a bad one to justify your agenda and your bad action.

It's like people want these things written down in no-holes legalese. While at the same time people will misinterpret what others are saying (see "straw man argument"; people are quick to jump to conclusions about people about what they say and don't say).

Here's a religious code people can live by: "Don't be a dick". I'm sure that summarizes all the good parts of organized religions and philosophies. It's also the most difficult one to adhere to for a lot of people.
