Jesus existed LoL. He may not have been the Messiah but he existed. Do you believe Abe Lincoln existed?
Yes.
Okay, Abe is not a good comparison, so let's take someone who IS a good comparison, another person with the initials JC. Julius Caesar.
Both Julius and Jesus were worshipped as Gods.
What evidence do we have for Caesar. Well, we have statues of him made in real time. We have coins that were struck of him in real time. We have contemporaneous accounts of him from other people who also lived at that time. We know what day he was born (12 July 100 BCE) and what day he died (15 March, 44 BCE). We can see on the map how he influenced the shape of the Roman Empire and his family continued to Rule the Empire for another 100+ years after his death. That's all really solid evidence that Julius was real.
Now, let's go to Jesus. We have no statues made of him in real time. All of the Gospel accounts were written decades later by people who never met him and were seriously cribbing off of other people's work. We don't know what day or even year he was born. (Matthew says before 4BCE, before the death of Herod the great, Luke says during the Governorship of Quirinius, which was in 6CE. We don't know what year he died in. Could be anywhere from 29 CE to 36 CE. References to him in non-Christian works seem dubious, at best. Like he was shoe-horned in there because the Christian monks copying those texts though he should be in there.
Now, here's the kicker. While Julius was a pretty impressive dude, there was very little supernatural about his story. He didn't perform miracles or rise from the dead. He was just a dude. Jesus did things people probably would have noticed. People would have noticed if the dead started coming back to life (as Matthew said in Matt. 27) or if the whole world went dark. (Mark Luke and Matthew).
I could go into pages on this topic, but that's the gist.... Jesus is much more likely a fictional character than a real one.
