If you start a cult, are you not the first member of the cult? Shoko Asahara was still the leader of and member of aum shinrykio

    I'm not that knowledgeable about the events. But did he name the cult?

    If someone else named the cult, and someone else wrote the Bible. And the book did not exist in his time. Then even if he was a real person that wanted good in the world, he was never a part of the religion/cult that was started in his name, right?

    A lot of the bible that gets followed by mega churches follows the doctrine of Paul who never met Jesus and was a power hungry bastard who claimed to have hallucinated Jesus after he got hit on the head with a rock.

    The idea of salvation through Jesus being through faith and not actions, throwing money at churches, treating any sex for pleasure as an apex sin comes from him.

    Effectively these are not Christians but Paulians.
