I do  believe Billy is supposed to be a Christ figure.The only thing that makes me think otherwise is before the war Billy was a weakling and Billy prefers sinking over swimming. The connections I can make it to Billy being a Christ figure is that he becomes unstuck in time an can move to and from different events in his life. Both Billy and Christ wanted to warn people about something coming. Christ wanted to spread news about God and Billy wants to spread news about Tralfamadorians. The other connection would be that Billy is re-birthed after he time travels just like Christ rebirth. This shows Billy has some control in the fourth dimension. Also Billy is not afraid of death. Well it's either that or he does not care. Every time somebody dies we see him say "so it goes". Throughout the book we see the mention Adam and Eve. When we hear references about Adam and Eve we think about the beginning of time. I think enemies are mentioned over and over because they connected to Billy in some way. Billy in constantly time travelings to random points in his life. I think they make the reference to Adam and Eve because they had unlimited access to power until they ate the apple. So maybe they could have time traveled and been in the 4th dimension just like Billy is. Billy also believes that death is not the final part of life just like Jesus believed in the afterlife.
