Was Jesus of Nazareth a religious loon?

If Cephas is Peter, but it was some other guy that gospel writers turned into Peter.

I had this conversation many times on this forum, you can look up topic "First century void"

Sure, Paul's teachings are different if not opposite than Jesus's, that's why some Christians consider Paul to be the antichrist.

The first thing to notice is how Paul claims to know this information: he says he received it “from the Lord,” not from anyone who was actually there. Then we go back to Galatians 1. 11-12.

So why did Paul have to tell his flock as though he was the only one who knew this story?
Paul’s Lord’s Supper does not look like a historical account of a “last supper” (a term he never uses), but a celestial vision of ritual instructions from his Lord, directed to future generations and not to any disciples at dinner.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
