Be cool to each other. We'll welcome most occult themes, it's okay if you stray from witchcraft a bit.

Paul is the person alleged ------ians actually worship, Jesus is a mascot.
Paul created all the parts that aren't more or less an attempt to reform judaism.
^^ 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.
