Paul's Writings Underpin Western Thought

[Amarok]

Moreover, limiting ourselves only to the irony of the claim present -within- the judeo-christian sphere..how is it that a person can claim..with a straight face... a meaningfully derivative faith and simultaneously claim to be progenitors of something not found in that faith, further..something closer to our modern sensibilities than that which preceded it?  When did their borrowed god change it's restless mind on those issues?  Before or after some guy wrote a screed to his sycophants addressed to his ideological competitors?  Just how feckless is this god that the timeless wisdom it deigns to present has a shelf life about as long as the people who write it?

Indeed there is nothing that Christianity let alone Paul said that was not already said by Pagans or Jews once again Christians taking credit they don't deserve.
