Which is what exactly? Positing that the Bible "says" specifically one thing or another is just as bad as this guy who claims that he was operating according to "God's will". The problem is not in determining what the Bible says; it is in making the choice to do whatever one thinks it says. I agree that the problem here is not religion, but the situation is a gross caricature of what conservative Christianity has become: deciding what is or what is not "God's will" is something of an obsession among many evangelicals.
