@MrTips,
No.
Please realize that some of us aren't Christian. Also with many of us not being Christian, we have our own belief systems that have focused our attention.

Do you think for yourself, or do you rely on others to do it for you?

@MrTips,
Personally neither.
Your question is tricky as, unlike Paul, JC didn't write anything. The fact that the four Gospels are quite alike does not qualify, as there is a legitimate suspicion that these may have been heavily edited in the early centuries of Christianity to look that way.

I was raised in the Catholic faith - but it was not serious - and Paul was about everywhere. So I guess that this may apply to all Catholics. But, generally speaking, Catholics have a superficial knowledge of the Bible (there's a tough chance that the average atheist knows the Bible and the Gospel better than the average Catholic...). Then, because of its structure, the Roman Catholic Church allows a very narrow theoretical margin for free interpretations. So it's more the overall tradition as approved by the powers that be than a single author that counts.
