Because you come off as attempting to be an edgy troll and failing miserably. permalink fedilink source parent [–] dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world 12 points 3 months ago (1 child) Arguably they didn't. The modern trappings of Christianity were invented out of the whole cloth from Paul of Tarsus, when he had a "vision" of Jesus conveniently not seen by anyone else purportedly while he was traveling on the road to Damascus. Notably, all of this went down some decades after big J's death. It was Paul who discarded the bulk of the Jewish stuff, either out of desire to make it more palatable to his Roman peers or, possibly, simply because he was a raving nut. Paul was a self-described persecutor of the existing Christians, so he would have been in a pretty good position to know what their beliefs were to use as a starting point. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world [S] 0 points 3 months ago (1 child) Paul hated christians so he invented christianity? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world 12 points 3 months ago (1 child) As he told it, Paul hated Christians and then had a vision of Jesus who told him off about it, and then he had a big change of heart and invented (modern) Christianity. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world [S] 3 points 3 months ago That's wild I'm just reading the wiki link you provided. permalink fedilink source parent
