NewFictional?

The real issue is whether he should have been allowed to dress like a historical character on “fictional character” day. Only nut-cases try to deny the historical fact of Jesus’ existence. They’re out there with holocaust deniers and flat-earthers. Even liberal skeptics like Bart Ehrman and John Dominic Crossan don’t deny Jesus lived. They merely deny that He was God.

Would the school have permitted a student to dress as George Washington?
