Quote:As for Justyn the Martyr, that may be explained by both his background and his audience.
Yes, apologists always come up with shitty, ad-hoc explanations. Congratulations for continuing the trend.
The church put out a story - probably in the late 2d century - that "paul" brought the faith to the gentiles in the mid first century. That would make him an important sonofabitch... right up there with the other (most likely fictional) apostles. But Justyn, sitting in his ass in Rome over 100 years later doesn't know fuckall about him. He knows Marcion, though.
I'm afraid you will have to try harder.
