          Muslims have long believed that Paul purposefully corrupted the original revealed teachings of Jesus, through the introduction of such elements as paganism, the making of Christianity into a theology of the cross, and introducing original sin and the need for redemption.

          ^^ From the Wiki article (Muslim views section).

          I don’t have time to skim or read the entire article; it’s much too long. And I didn’t know that these views on the individual even existed (atheist). What should I look for if I want to learn more without getting heavily invested? Can you please summarize where you’re coming from with this comment and give me some background? This sounds pretty interesting as a topic.

            There’s no fast way to see this. If you look at the Gospels and all the non-Pauline texts (stuff written by or attributed to Paul) there’s nothing about Christ being some divine being meant to address sin. That is all coming from Paul/Saul who also happens to be the only writer in the NT who wasn’t Jewish

              There’s a decent amount of cross theology and Jesus-addressing-sin material in John, though.

    Such a shame when things things claim our children. We must protect them!
