listening to the Beatles than i do reading the Bible? almost a religion of "humanism", the beauty of human potential if you will. Atheists, comment only if its funny, i want christians to hear this and respond. What does it say about the Holy Spirit if this is true? and it is, please don't say i'm lying.

There is nothing wrong in feeling more spiritual listening to the Beatles than you do reading the Bible. Spirituality doesn't consist of the form, it extends to the essence of being. If you feel spiritual, you are fulfilled, and that's the thing. All religion is reduced to mere rituals if the person following it doesn't feel fulfilled. If the Beatles do to you what the Bible fails to do, it's not something you should feel guilty about. This happens because of our upbringing that conditions our mind to respond in a certain manner in a certain context. As a result, we lose our instinctive flexibility as a human being, and are straightened with values. Few of us get out of this, and learn to judge. My dear friend, go ahead with 100 % honesty, you are not lying.

Well, it is not wrong, but it is lacking "rightness" as well.
Feeling spiritual is probably a good thing. It is getting you thinking about things beyond yourself.
Why is it that reading the Bible does not give you such a feeling? The Bible is a great story to read. But, if that is all you consider it to be, then the lack of spirituality is probably all you are going to get out of it.
But, consider this: What if the Bible is true? Just think about that. If the Bible is actually the story of the Earth and all its inhabitants, what does that mean in the larger picture?
Also, think about the things that the Bible asks us to do.
It asks us to become selfless rather than selfish.
Selfish means that we are out to amuse ourselves only. We do no have to care about other people. We want what we want, and we go get what we want when we want it.
Selfless means that we put ourselves last. We tend more to the wants and needs of others before we worry about ourselves. In the process, however, if everybody were selfless, then your needs and wants would be taken care of by everybody else. This is the message of the Bible put into action. That action is also known as Love.
So, even if the Bible were wrong in technical aspects, is the message also wrong?
It all boils down to faith. Faith that the Bible is right, and that we ought to follow the directions given.

No, but it is wrong if you follow a religion that makes you feel guilty for listening to the Beatles.

No feeling is ever wrong. You can't control a feeling, what you can control is the action that you may or may not take as a result of that feeling.
