   Are you daft? If you are speaking of Peter the Apostle then your statements   
   or questions cannot apply.   
      
   If you are speaking of a person calling themselves Peter, I have seen no such   
   person in this thread.   
      
   Hence, show proof.   
      
   Again, read the prayers of Jesus to His Heavenly Father, see it you can find   
   something there to support your presumptions.
