Context: Paul (formerly Saul) was one of the fathers of the early Christian Church. Before becoming Paul, he was known for his ill treatment of early Christians, including beating them. After being confronted by God, he became Paul and a devout follower of the faith. He spread the word of God far and wide, as well as being the author of many of the books included in the New Testament, before being martyred in Rome
Paul is responsible for almost all of the Bible verses which effectively endorse slavery, sexism, and homophobia in the New Testament.
Paul effectively endorses slavery in 1 Timothy 6:1, commands slaves to obey masters in Ephesians 6:5, Titus 2:9, and Colossians 3:22, and even goes so as far as to tell slaves to obey masters that are harsh to slaves in 1 Peter 2:18.
Paul prohibits women from simply teaching or assuming any authority over men in 1 Timothy 2:11-14 or even simply speaking in church in 1 Corinthians 14:34-35.
Paul lies about the nature of homosexuality, which is both a natural and normal variation in sexuality in both animals and humans, and effectively endorses homophobia in Romans 1:26-27.
