thank you.Angel Cloud

Let's go over the highlights of the OT

1. Garden of Eden story (ridiculous for many reasons, such as it takes more than two to sustain a species).

2. Global flood and Ark story (also laughably ridiculous for many reasons, see above for one example).

3. The Tower of Babel and creation of different languages (do you really think you could build a tower to reach Heaven?)

The Exodus (zero evidence for any of this)

4. The bloody path to the promised land (zero evidence)

5. The glorious Davidic empire (zero evidence apart from an inscription that mentions "House of David")

...and then there's the whole Jesus story. What a coincidence I just uploaded this video:

In it, he never mentions anyone named "Paul" or "Saul" which indicates that that portion of the story had not been invented, or, "Saul/Paul" was a creation of the heretic Marcion who was later surgically removed from Marcion's canon and "rehabilitated" along with all the fantastic bullshit that they later wrote about him.

Min, something that always struck me as strange about Paul.

Marcion held him up as the prophet of Jesus and yet according to Paul's "authentic" epistles, Paul believed in a Jesus wholly inconsistent with the one Marcion believed in.

So did Marcion not bother to read Paul, did he promote Paul and hope no one would read his writings or do we not have the original epistles of "Paul" as Marcion originally discovered them?
