Well believe in a "holy" book (merely a collection of tribal myth) that teaches intolerance.
Additionally the Church has a rich tradition in "interpreting" the bible in different ways.
So yes, I view people who really believing the bible (or the church) word for word with suspicion and most of them are hypocrites.
