I think the Bible is explicit with a lot of truths more implicit in Quran. And people love those explicit truths and emphasis. Quran, when you get, use it is more like the logic Vulcans use to control their emotions and discipline themselves.
The other thing is people love to be controlled and taught authoritatively. The Church provides that structure, and Islam although forbid such a structure, ended up having it.
It would not a be a problem to follow anyone except that if we truly love God more than anything else, we would be terrified out of that love from following but his light revealed and his path and way.
And fallible leaders - church - Marjaas - Muftis - Mullahs, cannot take the position of Moses, Aaron, Jesus etc...
I pretty sure Jehova Witnesses are right as far their insight into leadership and authority being that of God, but their way of coming to together to understand the Bible is not correct either and does away with the very arguments of the need have people like Jesus to guide and be the face of God in the first place.
A book is always coupled with one who teaches it. That is the rope, the handle to hold on to, light by light by light.
