In other words, you made the connection up in your head. Typical.

Unable to address the truth of what I wrote, you fantasize an argument
out of your sophomoric command of medieval logic. That, too, is typical, 
if somewhat pathetic, since your religion is based on unquestioning 
belief, superstition, and a fundamental opposition to science and 
inquiring thought. Give it up. No brain can justify the brainless.
