maybe I should rephrase that. Paul is more important to the development of early christianity and its subsequent forms (Not to christians) then jesus.
remember jesus wrote nothing and all the stories that Paul failed to mention were written70-100yrs after the supposed crucifixion of jesus.
I don't see how that is an insult to both religions? Only if one thinks that questioning doctrines in a reasonable manner can be regarded as insulting.
I do realise that if jesus did not exist it also calls into question the accuracy of Mohammads revelation. but that is my view and if someone wants to give evidence for a real person called jesus who lived at that time and did all the things that are written about in the New Testament (other than using that as a source, and the Qu,ran obviously can't count either) then lets have it.
I don't go to mythical places with strange men.
