What sort of "divine text" endorses the same penalty for murdering a man as cursing at one's parents (Exodus 21:17), like the Christian Bible suggests? If it's just open for interpretation, then you can just cherry-pick through the whole book as you please, rendering the book useless.
In the midst of the science vs. religion debate, religion does not win any points for its conclusions about yawning or sneezing, either. And what is this whole bit about wearing colors? If a religious text cannot make the distinction between necessary policing and ridiculous policing clear by promoting such ridiculous policing as necessary policing, then the logical outcome is that thinking people draw their own lines based on their own conceptions, and obviously are more inclined to doubt larger chunks of the text that actually important.
I understand that religion passes obedience off as a matter of faith and belief, and trust in guidance based on what is said to be "the word". But why would such nonsense be "the word", and what merit is there in testing one's ability to believe and follow a respectable way based on whether they just blindly follow points that have nothing to do with respectability and everything to do with rewarding the denial of agency and cognitive power of man, which should be a praised feature that sets man apart from other hominids and species - it should not be something rejected and scorned. If it is, then we should wish that we had never evolved into what we evolved into.
