If you're going to follow a religion, follow it right, dont half ass it.

The rules are not open for interpretation. But the bible most certainly is. Take for example the book of genesis, I havent read it in awhile but I dont remember in claims by the author that the information was directly recieved from god. Which means that it is open for interpration. There is also the change of knowledge of man and the use of language and the diffrent authors and translators that inject there own ideas into it. So are the rules sound and good yes, is there a danger in interpret the bible to literaly yes.
