How different would Christianity be today if Marcion's movement had been the prevailing Christianity? Would Christianity's relation with Judaism and other religions have been better? Would gay rights still be an issue? Discuss.
A little background on Marcion:
Believed in a True God and a lesser being referred to as the "god of vengeance" or "god of nature"
Believed Jesus was sent by the True God to save us from this "god of vengeance".
Developed the first canon (Bible) consisting of a Luke variant called "the Gospel of the Lord" and 10 of Paul's letters.
He rejected the Old Testament and the Poets as not being Christian literature.
Believed in salvation by faith alone.
