There are many people in the Body of Christ, as well the vast majority of people in the world, who hold onto their traditions, perversions, and addictions for one reason: "Is there anything better?"
That is a good point, and the answer is Yes!
Yes: the Blood of Jesus Christ, Our High Priest, who enacts the New Covenant:
We have something better in Christ:
"How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth!" (Psalm 119: 103)
and now
"But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and things that accompany salvation, though we thus speak." (Hebrew 6: 9)
and
"For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by the which we draw nigh unto God." (Hebrews 7: 19)
and also
"By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament." (Hebrews 7: 22)
and next
"But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises." (Hebrews 8: 6)
and finally
"And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel." (Hebrews 12: 24)
There is a better way: through Christ and His Finished Work at the Cross.
"Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, 20By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh; 21And having an high priest over the house of God; 22Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water." (Hebrews 10: 19-22)
The blood of Jesus has granted us a new and living way, the New Covenant (Hebrews 8: 10-12)
"How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth!" (Psalm 119: 103)
and now
"But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and things that accompany salvation, though we thus speak." (Hebrew 6: 9)

Nothing could be better than Christ Jesus, the "something better" that everyone of us is looking for.
