I am afraid that people are seriously misinformed about the nature of Sacred Scripture.

It's an open-ended justification for lots of horrible things.

Everybody deserves the right to worship as they see fit. The problem is that the overly enthusiastic adherents want to force everybody to live under their interpretation of the texts.

Failing to recognize this is either willful ignorance or duplicity.
