And you never got over it... Last time I talked to my ex she was
hanging out with some Messianic Jews. Now that's a weird twist almost as

Marcion had the right idea but nobody listened to him. Toss the OT and
do some heavy editing of the NT to get rid of the propaganda directed to
the Jews of the day who weren't buying it anyway.
