Quote:These lines reflect the evolving schism between the followers of Jesus, all of whom were Torah-observant, Pharisaic Jews, including Jesus; and Paul and his acolytes and successors who created a wholly new religion out of the mystery cults of the region, but grafted it onto Judaism. Thus the Jerusalem group, which included Jesus' brother James, was strongly opposed to the groups such as those in Antioch. It was strictly business, thus has it always been.
Political pissing contests between fanatical groups of religious nuts between 15-18 centuries ago are of amazingly little interest to me. My only issue here is when clowns like G-C try to pour his silly superstitions into our laws.
