Exactly.

Not even the Christians who insist that they take the Bible literally, truly live by that.

They just use this as a way of separating "good" Christians from "bad" Christians... or in justifying this or that action.

Of course, these acts, ironicly, puts them on the "bad" list, by their own standards.
