Did Peter Start Christianity With A Hallucination? | Dr. Richard Carrier

Did Christianity begin with visions, dreams, and revelation experiences rather than historical events? In this explosive conversation, Richard Carrier joins MythVision Podcast to explore the origins of Christianity, the role of Peter and Paul, and why humans are naturally drawn to myths over truth. Carrier explains how ancient people interpreted visions, why myths felt emotionally “true,” and how cognitive biases shaped religious belief systems across history. From Roman-era revelation stories to modern political mythology, this discussion dives deep into psychology, religion, philosophy, and the rise of Christianity. Topics covered: Did Peter have the first “vision” of Jesus? Could Christianity predate Paul?
