I’ve often wondered why Paul drew so many followers. Apparently a lot of people in those times had gotten to the point where they hated life, and Paul’s message was just the thing they wanted to hear.

Amazing that nearly 2000 years later there are 2 billion people who buy into his anti-life vision.

Indeed. But religion has done it quite successfully. Human error and stupidity have become elevated anthropomorphically to sin and evil, and personified as satan and devil. Most recently this has been the supreme achievement of Paul, who to my mind is the founder of christianity, who near single-handedly established this blight upon humanity. One only has to read Paul to realize he was a sick man. His letters are chilling.

Good luck with this site.
