They ignore the verse [[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2+Kings+18%3A27&version=KJV drink your own piss and eat your own dung]] as there are other things their particular denomination often omits.

He also makes fun of other cultures, and he didn'tt take time to learn some basic Spanish when he and the family traveled to El Salvador.
