Paul alone using someone he never met. He created it decades after the murder of Jesus by the Romans. It isn't his religion. It is Paul's. No one seems to know much about the origins of Christianity but everyone has an opinion. Even the family of Jesus wanted to punch Paul in the face. Christianity isn't the creation of Jesus. He is the focus of it but he didn't create it. Paul did. Everyone who uses things for their own purposes is responsible for that. Repubs use what Paul said about a man he never met, who had BIG differences with the family of Jesus including James, his brother and they twist it.
What else is new? But they own what they do and say, not anyone else. Anyone can use anyone else as a beard for their hatred and behavior. Jesus is abused all the time this way.
