ò  My take on Saul-Paul is that his purpose in life was to bend the
teachings of Jesus of Nazareth into an engine that would suit the purposes
of those who hated like hell to work for a living -- i. e., priestcrafters
-- the very people who had done away with Jesus a decade or so earlier.

³... A short time elapsed after the death of the great reformer of the
Jewish religion, before his principles were departed from by those who
professed to be his special servants, and perverted into an engine for
enslaving mankind, and aggrandising their oppressors in Church and State;
that the purest system of morals ever before preached to man, has been
adulterated and sophisticated by artificial constructions, into a mere
contrivance to filch wealth and power to themselves; that rational men not
being able to swallow their impious heresies, in order to force them down
their throats, they raise the hue and cry of infidelity, while themselves
are the greatest obstacles to the advancement of the real doctrines of
Jesus, and do in fact constitute the real Anti-Christ.
