Are you really ready to take responsibility for each and every madman who obeyed his own wishful thinking and started, in his own delusions, to extract from the Bible (which one do not really matter) whatever character he liked, then started to act in a way he sincerely thought biblical ?

As long as a person truly acts in a way which is sincerely biblical (including wiping off entire nations from the face of the earth, bashing babies' heads against the stones, ripping pregnant women's bellies open, etc, etc), then this person is
not a madman.
Everybody else (people who do not follow the word of God) are, in fact, either crazy or completely dumb.

Is there really no need of a coordination of believers putting theirs faith in a trustworthy man (some people call them "pastor) to determine what it is correct to believe when you want from the bottom of your heart to keep on Christ's tracks , to answer his call:

No. The Holy Bible is written in a plain and simple language - you would have known if you have ever picked it up. The Catholic Church, however, wants to keep their flocks away from reading the Bible, so they won't realize how un-Biblical their teachings are.
