Carl Sagan (Scientist; Author)
"My long-time view about Christianity is that it represents an amalgam of two seemingly
immiscible parts–the religion of Jesus and the religion of Paul. Thomas Jefferson attempted to
excise the Pauline parts of the New Testament. There wasn’t much left when he was done, but it
was an inspiring document." (Letter to Ken Schei [author of Christianity Betrayed])
Thomas Jefferson
"Paul was the first corrupter of the doctrines of Jesus." (All references not listed here, can be
found in Christianity Betrayed)
Albert Schweitzer
"Where possible Paul avoids quoting the teaching of Jesus, in fact even mentioning it. If we had
to rely on Paul, we should not know that Jesus taught in parables, had delivered the sermon on
the mount, and had taught His disciples the ‘Our Father.’ Even where they are specially
relevant, Paul passes over the words of the Lord."
Wil Durant (Philosopher)
"Paul created a theology of which none but the vaguest warrants can be found in the words of
Christ."
"Fundamentalism is the triumph of Paul over Christ."
Walter Kaufmann (Professor of Philosophy, Princeton)
"Paul substituted faith in Christ for the Christlike life."
George Bernard Shaw
"No sooner had Jesus knocked over the dragon of superstition than Paul boldly set it on its
legs again in the name of Jesus."
Thomas Hardy
"The new testament was less a Christiad than a Pauliad."
Hyam Maccoby (Talmudic Scholar)
"As we have seen, the purposes of the book of Acts is to minimize the conflict between Paul and
the leaders of the Jerusalem Church, James and Peter. Peter and Paul, in later Christian
tradition, became twin saints, brothers in faith, and the idea that they were historically bitter
opponents standing for irreconcilable religious standpoints would have been repudiated with
horror. The work of the author of Acts was well done; he rescued Christianity from the
imputation of being the individual creation of Paul, and instead gave it a respectable pedigree,
as a doctrine with the authority of the so-called Jerusalem Church, conceived as continuous in
spirit with the Pauline Gentile Church of Rome. Yet, for all his efforts, the truth of the matter is
not hard to recover, if we examine the New Testament evidence with an eye to tell-tale
inconsistencies and confusions, rather than with the determination to gloss over and harmonize all difficulties in the interests of an orthodox interpretation." (The Mythmaker, p. 139,Weidenfeld and Nicolson, London, 1986)
Jeremy Bentham (English Philosopher)
"If Christianity needed an Anti-Christ, they needed look no farther than Paul." (Paraphrased. Looking for a copy of "Not Paul, but Jesus" in order to retrieve the exact quote.)
Carl Jung (Psychologist)
"Paul hardly ever allows the real Jesus of Nazareth to get a word in." (U.S. News and World
Report, April 22, 1991, p. 55)
Bishop John S. Spong (Episcopal Bishop of Newark)
"Paul’s words are not the Words of God. They are the words of Paul- a vast difference."
(Rescuing the Bible from Fundamentalism, p. 104, Harper San Francisco, 1991).
Paul was not an eye-witness. He never heard the Sermon on the Mount, or the Lord’s Prayer, or any of the parables. He didn’t see the 5,000 fed, or the paralytic healed, or Lazarus raised from the dead, or any of the miracles Jesus did.
He obviously was not there when Jesus spoke to the Samaritan woman at the well, or the woman who washed His feet with her tears, or Mary Magdalene, or the women who followed Him along with His disciples, and supported Him with their own money.
Paul was a Pharisee’s Pharisee, and when he started out, he totally HATED all things Christian. His purpose was to destroy the young church…he dragged innocent people from their homes and slaughtered them because they trusted in Christ.
He was on his way to Damascus, with letters from the Sanhedrin, giving him authority to do the same to Christians he might find there…but Jesus evidently had other plans for him.
If you keep all of this in mind when you read his letters, he won’t throw you off balance so badly.
Every Christian does need to understand, however, that Paul is speaking from his own limited experience…
His letters do contain some valuable advice, but they should NEVER be taken above the Words of Jesus, Himself.
Anyway, that is this Christian’s opinion…

there is a lot of hate out there. this is a call to describe yours. I’m asking you to tell me who you hate and why you hate them.
is it the Christians? the Muslims? the Jews? the anti-semetic? the communists? the leftists? the rightists? the mulattoes? the ugly? celebrities? right wing fanatics? President Bush? Barack Obama? nerds? white trash? queers? negers? censors? bules? gwailos? honkeys? the destitute? the wealthy? the skinheads? militant islamists? the Iranians? the Americans? the west? the Chinese? the Russians? the Israelis? the Palestinians? Greek police officers? world leaders? terrorist regimes? North Koreans? Kim Jung-Il? Africans? gooks? the corporate news media? the military? college students? neocons? the elderly? wall street executives? gang members? death row inmates? Congress? televangelists? genocidal maniacs? kids? dogs? cats? cattle? pigs? chickens? baby lambs? unborn fetuses? trees? people who pay in only pennies? no one?
who do you hate and why do you hate them?
who should die and why should they die?
if you prefer, tell me the concepts you hate, such as fascism, democracy, religion, hatred, censorship, socialism, disease, illiteracy, life, work…
or you could tell me you have no hate and i will ask you to prove it.
funny question, i like it. we all have felt a hatred for something/someone. we’re selfish beings, its only natural when things dont go our way. and of course in a fit of rage we internally (sometimes externally) wish for a particular death. but is that necessary? seems that while we all have done this people tend to just move on, its an accumulation of frustration
hatred happens, the best that can be done is to let it pass, we all have irrational moments, but in a rational world/society hatred has no place. so do the corporate execs and the politicians really deserve to die? did they cause the economic crisis and thus should be punished? if you say yes one has to wonder what sorts of impossible perfection youve lived up to in order to justify such an opinion. that sets quite the standard and resembles a large iron fist. but to say no one deserves to die brings into question the ethical practice of the death penalty, or whether men like adolf hitler or saddam hussein deserved death. and the most dangerous choice is to say we pick and chose…
i dont want a peace written with the blood of man, to say any of the groups or people you mention deserve to die i would be admitting i do too. while they may be annoying or an inconvenience, that appears to be the life we’re given
and since you mentioned a concept as an alternative, i will say war. all of this just so i can say; i dont like war
*kathy m, thats an excellent answer, i think i love your mind. but maybe im actually afraid

Can we expect to see more aggression like this once Obama is C-In-C?
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090118/ap_on_re_as/as_koreas_tensions
Is this why Kim Jung Il was so strong in his open support of Obama winning the election here in our country?
No surprise.

My Journalism class is on break now and our teacher asked us to come up with ideas. Knowing my class, there will be about 10 in all and about 3 will be useable. Do you have any ideas that you think could/should be important to teenagers?
We already did drugs in the health and Opinion (legalizing MJ). We also did unhealthy dieting and all that. Our news has been mainly about foreign activities and the Kim Jung Il stuff. Our news reporter seems to be on top of everything in that category but not many people like writing news reports…
Anything you can think of? The smallest things are the biggests helps since people usually go for the small stuff.
Oh my! That 2nd idea would be perfect! But now that i think about it we did something like that but not totally. Yeah, we should be able to do it because it wasn’t printed anyways. lol :]
Class ot 2010 are the freshman. Me being a Junior, i find it kind of hard to interview them when its related to school. The ones i have messed with up today are all ‘Iunno’ and all that crap. It ruined the paper. lol
the election results in Iran were pushed by university and hs school students disillusioned with the current Iranian leader, what role can and should young people play in the coming 2008 american elections ?
In the sixties and seventies young people aspired to looking at different lifestyle patterns, it’s been reported that the graduates of the class of 2010 aspire only to be very rich, is this just a base generalization or are young people really that shallow?
Compare the boomers and generation y and what their influence will be?

Do you think Kim Jung Il takes anything the Obama administration says seriously?
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090326/ap_on_go_pr_wh/obama_nkorea_missile_3
I must agree with TX Cyclone, only some of us are scared of this phony and we are not afraid of him but his agenda. I think the slant eyed midget should strap O "baa’ ma to the missile and send him on a long trip!

I always thought that a journalist was someone who was supposed to be fair and balanced, and not supposed to take sides. Though he, over the last few years has become extremely left leaning and nothing more then a joke in the world of cable news. Kim Jung Ill has a more fair press working for him.
It is clear to me that Keith and MSNBC has become nothing more then a group of cheerleaders for the failing Obama regime. Sad but true.
Heck every cloud has a silver lining though, and that being that we have a 99% of taking the 2010 congressional elections.
Please… it is nice to see someone else who feels the same way.
It must be that Cow-U education.
