Biblical literalism is to believe that for example the Six Days of Creation happened in 144 hour period. Biblical literalism isn't the same as "If you take the Bible literally and live your life by it." For example if the Bible says "give alms to the poor" and you gave alms to the poor are you not taking the Bible literally and live your life by it? If you follow the "Golden Rule" are you following the Bible literally live your life by it? So why would a person (most likely a Christian) who's sensitive to the plight of the poor and follows the Golden Rule want to throw stone at youths? Doesn't make sense does it?
