…t I want to respectfully disagree with it. I think we can make progress by talking about Scripture, even if we adopt a literalist perspective for the sake of argument. (For what it’s worth, my new book, coming out in October—God vs. Gay? The Religious Case for Equality—does just that. So I’m a little invested in the idea.)       First, we don’t need to “win” on the clobber verses—we need to tie. I agree that nobody will ever “win” on the definitiv…
