Guide to Acts

From RationalWiki

The Acts of the Apostles is about how all those ancient Christians managed without Jesus. Saint Peter preached in Jerusalem, and many credulous folk believed stories about resurrections and empty tombs, et cetera. Peter told a story about the death of Judas Iscariot, saying Judas bought a field and died in a fall. (Acts 1-18). That contradicts (Matt 27-5) which claims he hanged himself.^[1]

Peter fasted for a long time. A very, very , long time. Sometimes, very, very hungry people might dream, or even hallucinate, about food. Peter had a “vision” telling him that he could eat anything he liked -- including "unclean" food. Due to that, Christians don’t feel bound by Kosher food laws.^{[citation needed]}

The ~~enemas of Christianity~~ enemies of Christianity sometimes persecuted the Christians. Saint Steven was stoned to death. Saul of Tarsus looked after the coats of those who stoned him. Later Saul of Tarsus had hallucinations on the road to ~~somewhere or other~~ Damascus. He became a Christian, and changed his name to Paul of Tarsus. Paul preached to many people and Christians imagined he worked miracles. He converted many credulous people, and wrote many letters to Christian groups he had visited in his travels, which later entered the New Testament under the overall title of the "Epistles of Paul".
