    Paul never met Jesus and was opposed to him when he was alive. Paul only became a Christian once he was able to twist the religion to suit his own values. Poisonous values that Jesus hated.

      Then after bro opened a bunch of churches there was this council that got together in Nicaea a few hundred years later and decided what was and wasn’t convenient for them. Now we are told to not retaliate even though Big Je was handing out beatings to money changers.

      I choose Rambo Jesus over Supply Side Prosperity Jesus

        Jesus died around AD 30-33. AD doesn’t mean After Death, it means Anno Domini, or Year of our Lord, referring to the number of years after his birth. So if Paul was born AD 5, Jesus would’ve been 5 years old when Paul was born.

        I think, it’s been a while since I’ve looked into this stuff

          He was one of the early authors of the Christian church and is the author of several books of the official Christian mythology. In the Christian Bible, the letters to the Romans, Corinthians, Galatians, Thessalonians and Philippians are all believed to have been written by him. There are several other books (also letters to various congregations) which are attributed to him, but there is some debate about the actual authorship.

          So, he’s kinda the OG Paul when it comes to Christian mythology.

    I have tremendous respect for Raquel Welch’s son

    When he was 10 years old his mom was the biggest sex symbol on the planet.

    He managed to live a quasi-normal life and wasn’t crucified once.

    I thought the whole “virgin” thing was an interpretation of the original Greek or Aramaic for “maid”, as in a young women of child rearing age.

      No. They believe she never had sex. Jesus needs to be an only child and conceived by god or he’s not special enough.

      The real miracle in the Bible is that Joseph didn’t fuck for his entire marriage and was ok with that.

        Jesus needs to be an only child and conceived by god or he’s not special enough.

        I seem to recall that back then, there were a lot of myths about virgin births. So even that lie wasn’t particularly special, in the grand scheme of things.

        The real miracle in the Bible is that Joseph didn’t fuck for his entire marriage and was ok with that.

        According to Christian mythology Jesus has several brothers and sisters from Mary and Joseph. So no miracle there. One just has to wonder if they waited until after Jesus was born to start fucking.
