Sounds like an Arkansas joke about a country girl learning to out-run her cousins.

Learn the true mercy

Definitely "loving" toward little girls.

Yep, super duper, but in the penisy way, not the beaty way - which is what matters.
/jesus christ these people are fucking broken and there's nothing we can do to fix them.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Allah therefore purified him, taught him and sent him as a mercy to the world. Regarding this, Allah says: “And We have not sent you, [O Muḥammad], except as a mercy to the worlds. (107)” (Surah Al-Anbiya, 107). That mentality of a "special man", chosen one, the messiah, is simply wrong. No man can know everything or be a perfect ruler or singlehandedly teach people about morality because for everything you need groups of people, as large as you can get, to discuss it and develop it, especially since they will be affected by the decisions. And yet, it seems that this "special man" mentality is what most of today's religions preach and have been preaching for the last millennia.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
At work.

Mythical exemplars are supposed to be the diagram we live our lives by, and doing so....it's believed by those who accept the religion, can make -us- that special man. Bundled way down in that onion, is the idea that no matter how many of those special people you gathered together they would be of one unitary mind on a given thing.

That would be an example of religions failure, by it's own metrics and with respect to it's own goals...but okay.
