I very much agree with your "take" on Spong. He refutes all that stuff and yet has something left because...? Maybe because he's spent his whole life in the church and has sort of "absorbed" the good parts of it. The Golden Rule...that may be about all there IS--but that WAS a "Jesus Thing" so I could be a "Christian" for believing it. I think all there is of God is IN people--but all there is of the Devil is IN people, too. "Religion" I guess, is trying to live by the God side rather than the Devil side--or "Ego" side, selfish, fearful side--whatever you want to call it.

You and I seem to be very much in the same place these days. Not only do I have issues with my direction in life, but now it seems impossible for me to remain awake for an entire day, no matter how well I seem to sleep at night. (The whole theological discussion hits home as well, but requires more room than this little box will allow.
