Wasn't he writing in the sand just before a mob asked him about stoning and adulterous woman? And if he was preaching in the temple as a child he would have been doing so after a reading of the Torah.
And didn't he use a teleprompter for the Sermon on the Mount?

You resemble that remark.

You've given Stimbo reason to see that my statement was true about some of his compadres.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

Oh, her. Got it.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

So I missed the "s," my statement was qualified at the end of the sentence by the word them.

Thus rendering the statement unclear and ambiguous.
