...he's really the father of the Christian religion. And he did it by making it possible for non-Jews to enter what was until then just a sect of Judaism...he knew there would be few converts among non-Jews if men had to endure circumcision, so against the protests of the Jewish followers of Jesus he ruled that you did not need to be circumcised to join what then became a separate religion: Christianity.

How many pagans would have "embraced" Christianity if they had to get their pricks sized first? It would have been an even bloodier sight than it already was. Then again, the choice would have been; "cut your foreskin or your head off"...take your choice. Maybe that would have been an even greater inducement to "find" Jesus...who knows.

Paul was a clever old sod....but it nearly got him killed...he was stoned and left for dead, by his own people, on one occasion and on another had to be rescued by the Roman guard...then there was the time he escaped by being lowered over a wall in a basket.

A thoroughly unpleasant men, if he ever existed at all.
