| Quote | So the original disciples, Saul (later Paul) and all of those Mediterranean converts during the first couple of centuries before the text of the Bible was codified don't actually count as Christians. Good to know. Thanks for clearing that up.

I guess we need to include "reading for comprehension" as one of those things atheists can't be bothered with. It was clear from the context that I was referring to modern Christians, not Christians throughout history. Yes, Paul didn't have the complete scriptures when he wrote his letters. But he did have direct testimony from apostles, family members, witnesses, etc, that more than made up for this lack. And some scholars think that much of the canonical New Testament was composed during the first century.
