“There is strong reason to believe that St. Paul fabricated the belief system of Christianity from Zoroastrian mythology. In order to hide Paul’s plaigerism… Christians burned the library of Alexandria in 390 A.D. Books in that library kept Mithra’s original story of what Pauline Doctrine is an almost exact copy. (George Sarton , Introduction to History of Sciences)

Ancient and modern sources identify four possible occasions for the destruction of the Library:
1. Caesar's conquest 48 BC;
2. The attack of Aurelian in the 3rd century;
3. The decree of Theophilus in 391;
4. The Muslim conquest in 642 or thereafter.
Each of these has been viewed with suspicion by other scholars as an effort to place the blame on particular actors. Moreover, each of these events is historically problematic. In the first and second case, there is clear evidence that the Library was not in fact destroyed at those times. The third episode has had some strong supporters, including Edward Gibbon, but still many dispute this.[7] The fourth episode was not documented by any contemporary source, although some maintain that the final destruction of the Library took place at this time.
If you are referring to the alleged third incident, the motivation for Theophilus ordering destructions included heathen temples, hardly the motivation that you describe.

no, not true. Christianity made Paul what Paul became to Christianity. need to read book of acts carefuuly to see what I mean.
Sarton, a mathmetician, had not had the opportunity to study the roots of Christianity fully yet but had intended to.
i.e. from wikipedia
"Sarton intended to complete an exhaustive nine volume history of science—which, during the preparation of the second volume, induced him to learn Arabic and travel around the Middle East inspecting original manuscripts—but at the time of his death only the first two volumes had been completed."

Nope paul didnt hijack the true message of JESUS.
read John 3:16 .GOD sent his son JESUS so when we believe in JESUS we have eternal life.JESUS lived a sinless life and gave up his life as a sacrifice so we can be sin free. Ask JESUS to come into your heart and forgive ur sins and
cleanse ur past with his blood.

Maybe, maybe not. Believe what you may, but nothing would get in the way and stop the building of Christ's church, so where is it today? Salt Lake? Rome? The gay Episcopals?

True especially when the message says something special.

Absolutely. Although the bit about the burning of the library and the killing of Hypatia is completely wrong.

Another cheap shot, no corroboration or even decent evidence but believe whatever garbage helps you.

NO. Paul explains what Jesus taught and what he did.
