You don't think that you must demonstrate that there was an actual Paul, and that we have a way of determining who that was......if you want to make the claim that there was an actual paul........and that we know at least some of who he was? Do you think it's up to me to prove that there wasn't? Why? On my end, I know that I can show you the legendary and mythical Paul...and I was of the impression that we both agreed that there is such a thing. Don't you think that might demonstrate my position which is....nothing to do with 90% of your responses to me...that the Paul of the NT (yes, even those seven epistles) is legendary, and mythological - whatever else he may have been-.
(I don't want to hear any more of your bullshit about conspiracies and cons, honestly...it's pissing me off. If the only people you can argue with are conspiracists then go find one?)
-Do you think that you've done that, in this thread? I'll go back and re-read whatever it is you think is the most compelling. How does that sound? I want the details of Paul, as you see Paul (the real man, mind you, not the convention), and I'd like to see their source.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
