I saw this in someone else's journal and I guess I missed the part that said you wrote it... I'm not sure about the Paul parts. I don't think Paul has any place in scripture that could truly be considered "Christian" - I think scripture should stop with Jesus' life, since he fulfilled scripture and anything past that is just the equivalent of post-game punditry. But yeah... I feel like a refugee in this country, where it is assumed that the modern American way of Christianity is *the* definition of goodness - whereas in reality, it isn't even anything much like what Jesus (remember Jesus? He was supposed to be the reason for Christianity) lived and taught.
