I was going to post a long response, but suffice it to say that posts like yours show why the "its only fiction" remark is hollow. Giving credence to pure bunk camoflaged with cleverly stacked psuedo-facts at the expense of two millenia of fairly well-documented NT study is one of the reasons why people are concerned about DVC being taken as a plausible (vs verifiable) contradiction to the NT. Not to mention that it reduces the whole Christian faith to a prop for entertainment.
