Paul is like Stalin--a police agent infiltrator who succeeded in gaining control and totally perverted both the theory and the practice of his victims. As for Jesus's "charming" doctrine--Jesus was a Jewish revolutionary who brought "not peace but the sword." The only reason the disciples put down their swords at Gethsemane was that a Roman cohort was lurking behind the Temple police that Judas had been sent to lure there.

Beware "organizers" like Paul, St. Just, Stalin, Obama & co.
