Feel free to back up your ahistorical claim with real evidence or even
the story line from the New Testament.

But do it somewhere else: it is really off-topic in sci.physics. Stop
crossposting.

As long as you continue to post this in sci.physics, you are both being pretty
silly.

A common ploy by the mentally ill.
What Skippy doesn't know is that "Sectioned" refers to Section 2 of the UK
