I wouldn't disagree if I'm honest. You only have to look through history to find a multitude of examples.
These types of zealots take it to...weird levels. Not necessarily new or unprecedented, just...weird. Even more nonsensical than the base religion.
Core religion is, for the most part, the whack ass manipulation people pulled out of their ass that was deemed fit to put in written words and hold onto for more than the week or three after some hack-job con artist said it without thinking.
Illiterate thieves stuck at typewriters for millennia and they call it "scripture".
