If it was me, I'd want nothing to do with the "brand name" at all. I'd just do my own search for truth, so as not to be propping up a particular demented cult.
While they cling to the name and they spread the oral myths about the book somehow being magical, they propagate the problem. They edit the book in their head, but not in reality. If all their beliefs basically contradict what it says in the book, what are they still doing with it?
Naive again, I know. It's all so clear from outside the bubble.
It is clear...
But think of christians...
You have catholics, presbyterians, southern baptists, orthodox, etc, etc, etc, etc. They all claim that the others have it a bit wrong and... most([citation needed]) will say the others will go to hell.
One group will see the remaining groups as in the wrong, but they are also following some of the teachings of the overarching religion - islam, christianity...
"If the group that is in the wrong is the one that's doing all this destruction, then that group is really wrong and destined to hell. My group is still right."
