IDK.
Paul always struck me as too much of a controlling asshole to have never existed in the first place.
I mean, the character in Acts... sure, he never existed. That is mythology. But the guy who wrote (at least parts) of those letters. I think he existed. An old school Jim Jones figure who went around collecting followers. Very charismatic (and poetic) at times, at other times ruthlessly controlling. Seems more fact than fiction, y'know?
