You're not even being ambiguous about which religious texts the meme is talking about.
So you know that this meme was created to specifically talk about biblical stoning and not any other religion such as Islam?
And you still haven't really explained what you were talking about when you said something about scare quotes applying to individal words even when they're used in full sentences.
I never said it was used in this meme for an individual word or the sentence, it's used around that phrase and I've said I think I know why it's used around that phrase and my reasoning relates to how scare quotes are used unlike your reasoning.
Your reasoning jumps straight to you knowing for a fact the scare quotes mean the person who made the meme is talking about people who stoned people to death relating to the bible.
It's extremely bloody obvious. And you're being intentionally dense.
What the fuck do you think the purpose of a meme saying "no one was ever stoned to death by an atheist." is? It's the fucking same as Min's point about Jehovah and Steven Weinberg's point here:

It's extremely bloody obvious what "No one was ever 'stoned to death' by an atheist." is getting at.
