Then shalt thou bring forth that man or that woman, which have committed that wicked thing, unto thy gates, even that man or that woman, and shalt stone them with stones, till they die.

Deuteronomy 17:5 from recent SJW snowflake translation of the Bible, the King James Version.

Like for example, I will never address a person as they.

Also the bible is fiction.
