You guys can believe how you desire.
It's a general view:
I will not move from the stance though people can and will use the bible wrong and I am not saying anyone here does. It is just a fact in life that human beings are able to make mistakes and can teach the bible wrongly; especially if the person using the bible is using the bible to their advantage even without the spirit of God.
To say that this doesn't exist would not be truthful because there are so many human beings in this life, and a extensive history of good and bad uses of the bible. The Reformation was one of those historical events.
The bible has extensive value and it can change a human beings life depending on the user who is using to understand seek the truth about God and the Lord Jesus Christ. Great information about God and the Lord Jesus Christ, and many great promises that given to the believer.
The bible can have terrible value if it is used for a person like you said marks, bashing someone over the head, and indoctrinating others their own view, and stripping freedom, and placing bondage on others, and it has been a fact to see via the cults that have come up along in history as well.
Those are my thoughts on the matter.
