I don't disagree with you brother. I know we should take hadith's as teachings and explanations of the Qur'an. But I still don't think there are "tons" of them, might be due to my lack of knowledge, but I've heard from many scholars that Saheeh Hadith's are authentic. So before I can comment fully about this subject, I need to read more about the issue. And see what the general thought of the Sunni scholars is about this matter.
I also heard the same from scholars in my early life but whenever I studied Hadiths personally I found many contradictions myself. For this reason I was never satisfied with my religion until I started to take the Quran as my sole guidance and Hadith as complementary. I can tell you most Sunni scholars will tell you to reject what I said in my posts and follow Hadiths as a substitute to the Quran. Moreover, the funny thing is that if you go to any Shia scholar, he will give you some "sahih" sources which would be denied by Sunni scholars. Different sects of Islam have different views on which hadiths are acceptable and which are not. But all of them follow the Quran, which is God's word. In other words, we can see that the main reason why there are so many sects and divisions in Islam may be due to their perception on which Hadiths are acceptable and which are not. This difference in perception, in turn, yields to many misinterpretations of Quranic verses by certain sects.
I hope your quest is successful and you are able to increase your knowledge on the matter.
