I sure hope you guys are aware of the distinction between the Gospels which offer a narrative about how Jesus practiced HIS religion, and the epistles which show Paul trying to gin up HIS religion ABOUT Jesus.
Also of course there is a lot of semi-credible scholarship suggesting that Paul was a closeted fagit, though probably a repentant one. He sure as hell wasn't "healed" though.
I've heard all the Paul/Saul wedge related issues. Simple thing is, you either accept the New Testament or you dont. Picking the gospels from the rest and you may as well reject it all. I accept it all.
As far as air claims of "faggit", I heard abe lincoln was one, Jesus was one, I'm one, YUO're one, etc, etc, etc. I've called johnny faggit dozens of times and I'm semi credible +++!
