Of course, when you shut off your brain from rational analysis, any book is dangerous. Taking literally ancient parables from thousands of years ago is much more dangerous than playing with a loaded gun. Ancient scrawls, written by different authors in different centuries with different agendas--yeah, let's get mad literal about that.

The literalness problem is compounded in religion by the circular logic of not being allowed to question anything, or else you're lacking faith.
