I totally agree with you.
I think all the religions started out in the right direction with the basis of being good human beings, but the people who "flushed out" the tomes for each acted like congressmen, ear-marking and attaching unnecessary things that was only in their best interest.
So, perhaps God is actually this colossal ball of consciousness and we are like little flakes of that collective.
I guess that could explain the "made in/of his image" line.
I always found that a little vain, but it makes sense in this line of thinking.
  

If you are ever bored, pick up a copy of 'The Gospel of Jesus of Nazareth".  It's purported to be written by Jesus through an individual, but you really don't have to believe that to read it, and it gives a really interesting perspective on what Jesus was really saying.  It starts with His childhood and goes all the way through the resurrection.
