ok that was just getting a bit to personal...
How so? the various interpretations of bible are how the various sects of christianity came about- Catholics interpret it to somehow mean that you can pay the church to get into heaven, or that there is this dude called a pope (don't see anything of that sort written in there), then a certain few people who read the bible (after it was translated) figured- "*censored*- I don't dig your interpretation, dawg, It don't say no thing about paying the church no indulgences, yo. (
note, medieval accent not 100% accurate), so the church was all, "you's all bustas" and promptly excommunicated them. Now where was I? Anyway- each sect of christianity simply believes in a different interpretation of the bible. The language used in the bible can be ambiguous when read nowadays, and it requires a lot of reading between the lines and interpreting metaphors. The problem is, a lot of the things they don't agree on aren't as cut and dried as a possible misinterpretatation of the U.S constitution, namely, the "Every man has a right to bear arms" which could easily be misconstrued as being able to mount a pair of bear arms on the wall, or, phonetically, the right to wear a muscle shirt. Of course- it's not ambiguous since such interpretations are silly given the context of a countries constitution. the different intepretations of the bible aren't so cut & dried, and rather none can be declared "right".
In fact, any religion with a book that uses various metaphors and stories that are open to interpretation by the people who read it are going to have problems with having an official meaning to each one. Islam has various sects as well, with different interpretations of the Koran, (wherein I don't believe it states anything of the sort, "Strap many bomb to self- go to enemy. Explode. Many virgins await you." directly- but some believe it does, through metaphor.
