At least that's how I interpreted the statement. Perhaps not.
Anyhow, I don't like these confident claims like "Jesus never existed". We don't really know. And scholars who study the NT for a living mostly reckon there was some Jesus.
Thanks. The statement was a comment on literature, because the NT is written as such. Whether it centers on a historical Jesus is open to debate and reasonably questionable. Some scholars make strong argument for Jesus as myth. I agree there is no way to know or reason to be certain.
If I point out that it was Hawkeye, not the Huron, who kills Major Heyward, there is no need to point out that Last of the Mohicans was just a movie. Although it's worth pointing out he doesn't die at all in the novel. I hope that comment adds confusion to the discussion, since it's unavoidable.
