I love Jesus but hate the "Apostle" Paul (who never knew Christ personally). He used rhetorical violence to create a mythical-archetypal narrative out of the life of a normal man and thinker who came to understanding and wanted to help others find it. One needn't be the "son" of God to be divine and perform miracles.
Jesus did not write; this is important. It's not the rule but the spirit, this shows. Paul turned Jesus of Nazareth into The Savior and messed it all up for people like me that believe that fiction-as-fiction may show a/the truth, but to believe that fiction is fact is a form of lying.
I hate Paul, and so would Jesus. He's a religious salesman, a con man, a storyteller with no core principles, a two-timer, a genius writer and thinker aligned with evil, the man that killed Christianity by founding the religion on totalitarianism and ambition, not knowledge, love, or understanding.

Re: Jesus and the apostle Paul
i'm sorry i just came across your blog because you visited mine, but may i ask why you don't think that Paul lived out what he wrote in the Bible? Jesus wouldn't hate Paul and he wouldn't turn away from someone that followed and lived out the calling that he speaks about in Matthew 28:19 - I don't understand how you get truth out of fiction, and for you to hate someone who actually went through all he wrote about is the same for you to say you hate Jesus because you can say he faked what all that happened to him. And you don't personally know Jesus but you love him, so why couldn't Paul?'

just a question.
