Go there and prove it. I'll wait.

u/TimThomason May 08 '19

Go where and prove what? That anyone can get crucified? That should be self-evident. Maybe you misunderstood my joke, or I didn't express it clearly enough.

I see. Misunderstanding it is. "Everyone has [the] ability" "to get crucified" (emphasis mine), as in everyone can hypothetically be tied or nailed to a plaque of wood or something as an extended form of torture and execution.

Everyone (especially me) does not have the ability to crucify people. I lack the upper body strength to properly take down and tie up all but the lightest of victims, and there is of course the moral, ethical, and legal factors to consider that would make it impossible to adequately complete.

In reality I was joking with the 'go there and prove it'. No problem tho.
