3:56 Look in the upper left... Jesus as a pagan god! Is there *anything* from the ancient pagan religions that Orthodox-Catholic Christianity didn't steal?

[Zechariah46]

Yes. there were different branches of Christianity throughout the 1st 2nd and 3rd century, but the one that became the most dominant was the one that invited and accepted other non Christian(pagan) religions, hence The Roman Catholic Religion which later became even the most powerful as it became both church and state.

How could 52 of those bound leather books fit into one 6 foot tall container? Did I not hear Ms. Pagels correctly or was something left out of the story?

Well before everything was unified under Rome there were a lot of different churches and they pretty much went their own way
