That statement, applied towards ANYTHING in the bible would be grounds to label you anti-christian in a growing number of churches, some including catholic churches. There are more and more christian faiths (my mother's Presbyterian church...of all things!) where they believe the bible as fact line for line.
But of course these people also misinterpret a lot of the parables Jesus told. My favorite being the parable of the good Samaritan and why it was so weird that he stopped to help the man. Most just interpret it as helping a stranger when in fact it was helping someone of a different faith than you without judgement just because they needed help.
