The citation for that Wiki quote goes back to some German-Russian theologian - of course - in 1914, Ape. I do recall something in which it was noted that Justyn equated something in gluke with Paul - but the problem there is that gluke was the other part of Marcion's canon to begin with.
Wheels within wheels with this stuff.
How much of a genius do you have to be to invent Luke Skywalker, Kermit the Frog, or Fanny Hill? Someone invented "jesus" too, replete with mom the virgin, dad the cuckold and a hell of an ending.
"Paul" plays the same role as mohammed later did for the Caliphs. His job was to bring the good news to the arabs. Coincidentally - or not - the message was always the same. STFU and do what you are told.
All religions have that in common!
