This book is the shorter version of my book
Paul's Agon. It seeks to provide a more succinct expression of the key points in that book which is over 500 pages. These chapters represent the issue of what the Apostle Paul actually did and how it has impacted during the two centuries since he invented Christianity and Jesus.
Robert's Razor is the name I have given to the mindset of rejection of anything that cannot possibly be intellectually. Robert's Razor, similar in intent to Occam's Razor, rejects any idea that reeks of the mystical and the non-sequitur. It also rejects any moral system that derives from the mystical. Any time you are exhorted to "believe" an idea or intellectual system, you are being manipulated and "used" intellectual to accomplish goals set by people who want you to voluntarily accept their ideas without proof.
This book, excerpted from
Paul's Agon deals only with what Paul did to advance the mystification of history (this term is the subtitle of the book). If you have not read Paul's Agon, I will let the Introduction to the book provide you with the necessary introduction to "what Paul did".
