I believe many people or maybe most people are indoctrinated in religion before they read much of scripture so any scripture can be twisted around and they can still claim to believe in sola scripture.
I believe in the written word only. The doctrine of sola Scriptura is not SOLO Scriptura. The main point is that as God's divinely-inspired word, Scripture is the authority over any traditions of men. It doesn't rule out all traditions (traditions are, after all, teachings), just that they should be found within Scripture if they are to be binding upon believers as part of the rule of faith.

That is true, it only rules them out if it is a contradiction.
