Some of the Pauline letters highlight the conflicts between Peter and Paul and they seem to support the more confrontational real world that existed during the first century.

Since Acts was apparently written by Luke it was likely written decades after the fact.
Yes, Arch, all religions tend to engage in similar PR. That's a brilliant insight.
