What I believe the character Jesus was trying to say was.... etc etc

Doesn't sound off topic. hehe.

No, that would not be off-topic, because the person would actually be addressing the question.

(p.s. this thread was closed once for discussing mod activities, and I was one of the culprits. Let’s try to be careful)

Of course, more was posted than "Jesus is a myth", the point being made is that the story of Jesus is like the story of many, many other mythical god men, just because Christianity is the religion of choice for many now does not change it's history, or the fact it, like so many others, was a created legend, not a historical record.
