Is Gaster a jesus figure?
He has those weird arm markings, he fell into his own creation, died, and helped chara make frisk in undertale (he definitely makes goners [see deltarune] who probably don't have souls because they're not really humans or monsters and also apparently there was room for us to occupy the vessel, are probably thus made of raw determination which is the only thing we know of that can make something alive without a soul, and thus frisk was probably a goner before occupied and colored by chara's soul which is probably the same as frisk's soul because how else would they have left the underground during the neutral route), it kind of seems like he went to undertale, died, and through his gift of determination to us, gave everyone in undertale eternal life through our resets and salvation through our actions.
This theory only makes sense in the very specific context of the grand "chara" theory I'm making that started initially as a consolidation of evidence for the idea that the deltarune soul is a separate entity from the player and expanded massively when I got in a conversation about chara's gender and identity in general, but in that context it makes a weird amount of sense. At least to me
