I don't think that much of what he says is the way the Jesus would have taught.
How do you know?

And Paul formed his own sect,
Complete lie. Again, you have no idea what you're stating.
Paul lead churches away from sectarianism, back to faith in Christ as the main theme; not religiosity, which is what you claim.

so of course he wouldn't want any competitors infringing on what his interpretation of the message of Jesus was.
Do you just shoot from the hip? This is all in contradiction to what Paul taught.

And I do know what I'm talking about, I just don't agree with everything that you say about religion.
