Agreed, but the fine line many people don't (or won't) see, is that while changing through human energy without dependence on Gods power is a recipe for failure, it does not eliminate the absolute necessity for change.
Some folks think that "Since I shouldn't be a certain way simply because of mans teachings, that means I don't have to pay heed to any of it at all."
Regardless of the fact that sometimes, some of the teachings are purely biblical.
No, not all maybe, but those that are only teachings do not discount the ones that have biblical basis.
