The difference between you and them is they’re saying it doesn’t matter whether Jesus or God actually physically ever existed and actually did what’s ascribed to them — but, if people believe that they do or did then Jesus and God effectively exist(ed) as far as people can tell.

As I mentioned, you can catch a further glimpse of their peculiar worldview if you peruse their previous comments, but this particular take here is probably the most comprehensible I’ve seen from them so far.
