There is nothing bad in the Bible, just things people routinely misconstrue.

Uh, the golden rule you're referring to, actually comes from the Bible; the very book you say is bad. There is nothing bad in the Bible, just things people routinely misconstrue. The Bible is the most misunderstood book of all time. By Christians and Atheists alike.
"Do not do to your neighbor what you would take ill from him." – Pittacus(c. 640–568 BCE)
"Avoid doing what you would blame others for doing." – Thales (c. 624 BC – c. 546 BC)
"What you do not want to happen to you, do not do it yourself either. " – Sextus the Pythagorean.The oldest extant reference to Sextus is by Origen in the third century of the common era.
"Do not do to others what would anger you if done to you by others." – Isocrates(436–338 BCE)
Contrary to popular notion, you dont have to turn away from God to accept yourself for who you are. I would definitely recommend turning from the Church though.
