Once again, you choose to lie rather than admit your error. Nowhere in
the entire Bible does it say that Paul was one of the Twelve. That was a

It seems to me that most Americans can trace their roots back to
Europe, or did you forget that little fact?

What an enormous load of bollocks. The idea of the rights of the
individual (in western society) came from centuries of slow painful
progress by Europeans.
