God bless on you Christmas, and for heaven’s sake lighten up. I take it you don’t watch TV. The script writers were making fun of Sheldon for being pedantic and having an opinion on things he knows nothing about, not citing him as an authority on early church history. This is a season of joy and love, not a season for humorless arguing and put-downs.
Thanks for the humorless argument and put down (yes, I have been known to watch TV, thank you). My comment about Sheldon was meant to be a lightly sarcastic reference—you know, “humor”. Merry Christmas.
