At one time he was a bestiarius, fighting and killing animals in the arenas. Then he was a bounty hunter, tracking and killing members of The Way cult. When he was on his way to Damascus to hunt for some more he suffered heat stroke and had a hallucination about what became the Jesus character. After that he went to Arabia for about three years to develop his new religious doctrine. He then returned and converted the remnants of The Way cult to his new religion.
His disciples later wrote the Gospels to explain flesh out the Jesus character and to provide background information about him. The writers learned everything they knew about Jesus from Paul, who had created him.
Paul was no different from other guys who started religious movements, such as Martin Luther, Charles Taze Russell, Thomas Campbell, Joseph Smith, Uthman, and L. Ron Hubbard. They think they have the answer straight from God.
Where did you get this history of the life of Paul? From a comic book?
Considering the subject matter, a comic book is no less accurate a source of information than anything else.
