I've gone to bat for the Jesus character for many years. Christianity doesn't own that countercultural figure. Christianity is an abomination for its assimilating and neutralizing of that late-Axial Age lesson in the importance of having an existential perspective.

Your first few rhetorical questions strawman the thesis. Obviously, Catholicism developed. Paul's interpretation of the Incarnation isn't the same as the official one that emerged from Roman politics in the fourth century. The canonical gospels, too, changed over time due to redactions and catholicizations. The selection of those gospels, the burying of the Gnostic ones, and the taming of Paul with forged letters were Catholic acts of disneyfication. That's when the sanitizing brand emerged.

Who is my audience for this? Myself, mainly, and my personal daemon, as it were. I wrote this kind of stuff for years on my blog, between 2011 and 2019, long before I had much of a regular audience (not that my current audience is large, but it's larger than what I had back then). I write mainly for my benefit, to develop and to clarify my thoughts. I don't tailor my message to any audience's expectations.
