Well, there are dolts who believe that, yes...but those scholars we're discussing have..largely, for the past two centuries at least, been protestants.
It's not a requirement of protestantism that a person open their mouth..close their eyes, and let witchdoctors stuff bullshit down their throats by the shovel full. It's not integral to christian faith, even protestant faith, that the character of paul is accurately conveyed in the new testament. He doesn't have to be the man he made himself out to be, or the man that other authors later turned him into.
Or, if he does, maybe we should go back to calling it paulism, instead of christianity?
