[Phys-L] Divinely Inspired Behavior

To be able to provide so definitive a view necessitates that one know
the well-springs of human behavior on the one hand, and on what
text is or is not divinely inspired, on the other.
A lawyer / physics teacher is hardly likely to be the first
person in whom one would expect to find this insight, prima facie.

But let me put the case more circumspectly: if there are people
who act as though they have heard word of a divine way of relating
to people, involving love over hate, care for the weak and the
social outcasts, who are adjured to be joyful, why wouldn't
Jack believe that was a distinctive pattern of behavior?
