Origins, 4

What we do have

are four gospels,

more or less in agreement,

about the life of a man

who claimed to be god,

but these followed

in the wake

of a series of letters

from a man named Paul,

who never claimed

to have met him,

who says he persecuted

the early church

along with 

the rest of the establishment

until he had an epiphany

and then became

a fearless defender

who in those letters

spends his time

complaining of the results

of all his travels.

Now, tell me why such a man

would fabricate a faith

for such results?

I'll wait.
