One must reconcile the whole book, not just focus on a favorable passage, or that person can not have taken the whole book literally.Someone who interprets certain passages in the Bible literally while ignoring others is just as bad as a person who reads the entire thing linterally. And I didn't label him as someone who accepted the whole bible as literal fact. I presented that example to demonstrate a situation where a person with political influence, supposedly working for his constituents, used an ancient, vile verse in its literal sense to imply homosexuals should be put to death.
To label a cherry picker as someone who has accepted the whole bible is foolishness.
