Is he the biggest Mary Sue in the history of literature?

There is obviously a lot of flaws in this novel (dat self-inserting) ,the poor character development and the complete lack of subtlety in the metaphors.
However I think the brilliant first half makes up for some of these, and at the same time leaves me wondering wtf happened to the second.
The biggest Mary Sue is the Messiah Archetype as a collective.
Zarathustra, Jesus, Aslan, ect.
What character is this n how is he a Mary Sue?

The second half was Heinlein abusing all of the characters he'd established to preach his own philosophy to the reader. He did much the same thing in Starship Troopers.

>he curses it
>later the apostles see it's dead and assume it's because of the curse
>matthew, written later
>the tree dies directly
It's too perfect.

>Suffers for everyone
>Doesn't complain
>Doesn't even really die
>Is literally the son of God
To be honest, Aslan is better written than Jesus.
Rastafarians got the right idea mane.
