Ruthless, half mad, he stoned Christians to death. He also founded modern civilisation. And until yesterday, his fate was one of history's great mysteries...Deeply moved, the Pope delivered the news on Sunday that fragments of bones found in the tomb traditionally considered to be that of Saint Paul did indeed date from the first or second century.

You treat the World's two-billion-plus living Christians as if they are one single individual. How do you manage to do that? P. S. It was my own personal hypocrisy which drew me towards religion.
