    You’re the second person to say something like this. Suggesting the characters in the Bible are fictional will make some people very angry.

      Are people angry at Neil Gaiman? Because American Gods sure has a few Jesuses.

      And Good Omens has a bunch of biblical VIPs too.

        My point was, saying Jesus was a fictional character would make people angry. Using him in a work of fiction is not the same thing.

          But you can still copyright non-fiction? Copyright doesn’t have anything to do with the truthfulness of what’s written.
