I already explained to you that I think the statement is a factually inaccurate blanket statement and that the scare quotes are there to express contempt for the phrase stones to death because that's a use of scare quotes.
You then went onto say something about "apparently scare quotes only affect individual words now even when they're applied to full sentences" even though I never said the scare quotes were applied to an individual word or a full sentence.
youre saying "even when they're applied to a full sentence" so where are they applied to a full sentence? They aren't applied to a full sentence in the meme at all, they're applied a phrase.
You're claiming to know precisely which religious texts the author of the meme was talking about which is why I think you're too sure of your own opinion overall.
I don't even claim to know exactly what the author meant but my opinion isn't dense, it perfectly relates to how scare quotes are used and how English is used.
I also think that statement by Stephen Weinberg is false too, I think that other ideologies can influence people's behaviour just as badly as religion.

Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
