I support the myth of Jesus (as does Joseph Campbell) as a teaching device.
The character of Jesus is defined specifically in the Beatitudes which means
that Christianity if it is to be consistently taught, is a Pacifist religion.
Any deviation from this view is incorrect. (Thou shalt not kill and turn the other cheek).

Non-violent resistance is consistent with the character of Jesus in the Beatitudes.

The violent apologist Saint Augustine corrupted Christianity with his "just wars"
doctrine.

The historical existence of Jesus can't be established, not in the Dead Sea Scrolls
or earlier accounts of Christianity. There is no DNA, no scientific support for
this existence.

That said, there is value in the pacifistic character of Jesus and any attempt to paint this character as a warrior or an apologist for war is Orwellian.
