How could they? There's hundreds of other types of congregations doing something different, thinking they're right.
At this point, I'm shocked there's no sect that says the idea of God is allegorical.
I think there are people who think God is allegorical and who call themselves Christians. There are probably some in every denomination except for the more rabidly fundamentalist ones.
The contradictions are not shocking. These would arise in a discussion of many different books. The readers of this particular book are especially challenged to reach agreement given that it's had many authors and revisions over time. It isn't truly one book so there is lots to disagree about. I have no problem with their lack of agreement, it is only the vehemence with which some of them defend their own interpretation that mark them as dipshits.
