In fact they are referencing the phrase, of much later origin, "those who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones".


embedding-shape is quoting Jesus, who was in fact literally referring to killing people by throwing stones. (And, in fact, was talking to a mob that was literally about to do exactly that.)


I'm thoroughly familiar with Jesus's words. By "they" I was referring to demarq, who I believe embedding-shape was misinterpreting.


Ah, I see.
