And there's so many interpolations now that it doesn't even make sense, because the edits are interrupting constantly. It's become a word salad, and way lengthier than it used to be. Contradictions abound. All of Paul's letters are now far too long for the practices of his day. And many of these new insertions are things like:

34 Women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the law says. 35 If they want to inquire about something, they should ask their own husbands at home; for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church.

And at one point I heard Jesus changed to saying to slay your enemies, but I think that one was reverted.

The Christian religeon was subverted before it barely got started. Paul was no Christian, he was a Pharisees Jew and a liar. The Pharisees realized their efforts to stamp out Christianity by crucifying Jesus and persecuting his followers had failed so they changed tactics. Instead of fighting against the word of Christ, they should take control of it. So that is where Paul came in. He had the wealth to build churches and he could read and write. That was all it took to convince the uneducated masses that he knew better than they did so when he announced his story that the real reason Jesus died was to pay for their sins they swallowed it whole.

None of them were smart enough to see that was a lie to serve two purposes. Firstly it absolved the Pharisees and the Romans of the guilt and blame associated with the crucifixion. Secondly and probably more importantly to the Pharisees, it rendered everything Jesus had taught, irrelevent. It did what the crucifixion could not do. It shut Jesus up because now the Christians were being taught Jesus purpose was to die, whatever he had been saying was not important. Just believe he died for your sins and you will go to heaven so says Paul. Oh and you better believe that or else you will go to hell.

Right.

Where did you learn this? And then what was the Christian religion about originally?

Originally Christianity was about the teachings of Christ as recorded in the gospels of Mathew Mark Luke and John but if you listen to any of our supposed Christian leaders today, especially in the U.S. you will know they hardly ever mention anything from the Gospels.

As for where I learned it... It's all in the bible you just have to read it with your eyes open.

They don't avoid the gospels because they like Paul better, they avoid the gospels because they think Jesus is a weak soyboy who's overly moral and too soft and too tolerant of sinners. They like "Paul" a lot because most of what is ascribed to him is forgeries from later scribes, as I mentioned before. The apostles weren't viewed as sacred until considerably later, so early scribes were free to make editorial revisions, inserting all kinds of ridiculous orthodox doctrines that churches love, even though many of them are downright evil and make Christians look awful.

The way they skirt around this problem is with the sola scriptura excuse: Jesus is only a small part of a canon that totally wasn't thrown together by Rome in 382 AD, so he can safely be ignored in comparison to everything else. And nothing in any of these books can be questioned (which basically means they can tell you whatever they want you to believe because it contradicts itself so much they can pick anything they want out of it).
