I know that character is Heinlein's pedagogical self-insert, but it's still strange you pick him over Michael literal-loving-Jesus Valentine.

No thanks, I am not a Hellraiser cenobite, and do not wish to become one. Call it Wild Cards series PTSD, read a few of them years before the SA Let's Read Wild Cards thread(s) existed.

I already had one Robert Heinlein character listed in the OP's terrible books/terrible characters section, the literal mothefucker character. Figured that was enough SLASH I really didn't want to think about or write about Heinlein's many WWRAHD* mary sue characters...WWRAHD stands for "What Would Robert Anson Heinlein Do?"

Well, I mean, Jesus literally was God, and God wrote the bible, so I guess this is true.
