except the desire of your religion to make Paul subservient to Peter...

Wherever did you get that? Subservient? Peter had his role as spiritual leader of the Church, Paul had his role as evangelist to the gentiles. Paul learnt to humble himself (a learned Pharisee scholer) to a simple, unlearned fisherman as a leader. Peter learned to be humble himself and to simply trust in God (arguably he had that in him, but this was strengthened after Christ's crucifixion)

So much to say with so little wisdom.

Paul was the apostle to the Gentiles, not the evangelist. Two entirely different spiritual gifts. Consider all of the books in Scripture attributed to Paul. Were they only communications to unbelievers?
No, they were communications to believers with emphasis on faith of the Gentiles.

What, you don't believe the bible or you just don't read it...

Paul was a hand picked Apostle to reveal the Gospel of the Grace of God and to build the church...

What churches did Peter start??? And don't say Rome because there is no biblical evidence of that...
