"You can interpret The Bible in similar extreme ways."
That is a true statement, however bare in mind [1] There are those who miss-interpret the bible simply because they are educationally untrained in the discipline of Christian theology though these individuals mean no harm toward others. [2] There are those who miss-interpret the bible to "justify an ideology" which is foreign Christianity and Christian theology with the intent to harm others. [3] There are those who miss-interpret the bible to simply advance their anti-Christian ideology. And bare in mind that those who fall into categories 2&3 are extremely educationally untrained in the discipline of Christian theology.
