You are right because any person who is mentioned on a history book could be seen by some people as being a fictional character (partially or fully).
It happens, being a rational independent observer, I simply agree with what Jesus (a fictional character or not) who is mentioned on the historical book, called the Gospel', says about Hell which simply means returning back to the raw state (the state before one's birth).
The Gospels are not history.
The above, as well as your earlier post, are simply one more way for theists to claim that the Bible doesn't mean what it says. Luke could have included a passage reading something like, 'And the Lord did go among the reeds and rushes by the roadside. There did He squatteth and take Him a huge dump, and it stinketh', and your ilk would insist that it was a chaste and holy allegory referring to the rewards of heaven or how to deal with false prophets or price controls on flummery pie.
The Jesus Editorial Board invented the Hell Christians are so concerned with. They didn't invent nothingness as a consequence of sin.
