Quote:What a fascinating theory! Could you point me in the direction of academic writing I could follow this up from?
I feel the need to correct you because this is not a "theory." It is a hypothesis and you should learn the difference before you go making a fool out of yourself.
The evidence thusfar for this hypothesis is the utter failure of the earliest xtian writers to know who the fuck "paul" is. He seems to be a mid-second century concoction....along with much of the rest of xtian nonsense.
Oh, and I am capable of thinking for myself. I do not need to run to some "authority" like you people. I reserve the right to THINK.
Try it some time.
