Whoever the "Peter" is, ..... who may or may not have been one of the "twelve"
(which is already suspicious, as Mithraism included :
Virgin birth
Twelve followers
Killing and resurrection
Miracles
Birthdate on December 25
Morality
Mankind's savior
Known as the Light of the world
... he could not have been the Galilean fisherman.
All you have to do is read read the letters of "Peter". As early as the 3rd Century, their authorship was in question.
They contain highly developed theological concepts which (obviously) had not yet developed and a very fluent articulate Greek,
which no peasant Galilean would have the education to produce. Then there is the preposterous notion that suddenly Galilean peasants who never were further from home than Jerusalem,
who always met in Jerusalem, suddenly became world travelers, hopping all over the Mediterranean. Yeah... no.

Every religion is true one way or another. It is true when understood metaphorically. But when it gets stuck in its own metaphors, interpreting them as facts, then you are in trouble. - Joseph Campbell
