Thus, if we maintain all Theology leads to junk religion, are we not refuting every possible way of interpreting the Bible and God's relation to it?
And as I pointed out, Saint Paul, in the book of Romans appeals to a Natural Theology argument. He asserts that God and his eternal properties are known through what He has made so that men are without excuse. I am not sure how one reconciles this with the view that the Bible should be trusted as being simple in meaning and Theology avoided.
However, I think I may share some of your concerns that there are many that read way too much into the Bible. The Numerologist in the article is a prime example. And the Gnostic heretics of early Christianity. And the "Jesus Seminar" and such. But these are what I would call "junk theologists". I would call Saint Paul and Descartes good Theologists.

No!
I just related the unadulterated word of Yehova as it was given to us.
