Examples of Cast the First Stone in a Sentence

  1. James Martin:

    I would quote Jesus: 'Let you who is without sin cast the first stone,' what happens is, (the shaming) destroys a person's life and livelihood, which is unjust. And it goes against the Christian message of forgiveness.

  2. Lenny Bruce:

    The thing with Catholicism, the same as all religions, is that it teaches what should be, which seems rather incorrect. This is what should be. Now, if you're taught to live up to a what should be that never existed -- only an occult superstition, no proof of this should be -- then you can sit on a jury and indict easily, you can cast the first stone, you can burn Adolf Eichmann, like that!
