Is there any book like the Bible that teaches me how to live my life but doesn't include mysticism?

>>	Anonymous Fri Jan 8 23:11:41 2021 No.17237866 you can always read religious texts and just discard the mysticism. I am a deist but religion is one of my favorite subjects for this reason. there is a lot of wisdom in spite of all the silliness.

>>	Anonymous Fri Jan 8 23:13:39 2021 No.17237875 >>17236607 the bible does not teach you how to live your life it’s a narrative.

>>	Anonymous Fri Jan 8 23:15:31 2021 No.17237886 >>17236607 Proverbs is basically this. You throw away the most beautiful parts of the Bible without Mysteries though.

What he's saying is to go enjoy your life so long as you don't cross God. This Evangelical obsession with the works vs faith thing is beyond tiring.
