    Some dude who started a personality cult around himself that grew out of control once he died. Like the warlord paedophile Muhammed after him.

      I’m sure there were no shortage of “sons of god”, but for some reason, this guy’s claim stuck.

        He didn’t exist. The reason why the James-Peter fraud stuck was because Paul was a preaching machine and they lucked out with getting at least two good writers. Proto-Mark and M. If Paul had died on that shipwreck or Syrian scribe had found a better job there would be no Christianity today.
