No, it depends on your motives.

You are simply denying the existance of literalists who have an interpretation that differs from yours. Many literalists say the human punishment for homosexuality is indeed to put the homosexual to death -- as justified by the Bible.

Your interpretation is different -- yet you both claim to be literalists.

So where does that leave us? The Bible is ambiguous. No two literalists read it the same way. Therefore if the Bible is 100% true, nobody seems to agree what that truth really is.

Maybe some "literalists" have a sufficiently flexible interpretation that they can read evolution into the allegorical nature of most of the Bible.

You say they're wrong, they say you're wrong. I'll let you duke it out. But to say you have a lock on the one true literal interpretation -- that's laughable.

Pot, meet the kettle.
