No, he didn't actually exist.

How do you know??

 

No proof of existence, and for somebody who's so amazing - it's funny how no other historians of that era, or any nearby era after never talked about him. I guess I

just like to think pragmatically, really. Of course, it is a dandy thought that this dude might exist, but then again, it's a much better idea to jump off cloud nine and live on your horizon - not above it.

Most scholars in the fields of biblical studies and history agree that Jesus was a Jewish teacher from Galilee who was regarded as a healer, was baptized by John the Baptist, was accused of sedition against the Roman Empire, and on the orders of Roman Governor Pontius Pilate was sentenced to death by crucifixion.[1] On the other hand, mythologists[2], and a minority[3][4] of biblical and historical scholars argue that Jesus never existed as a historical figure, but was a purely symbolic or mythical figure synthesized from various non-Abrahamic deities and heroes.[5]

I'm pretty sure there are various do!@#$%^&*ents showing the existence of Jesus of Nazareth. Do!@#$%^&*ents of his accusation and stuff like that. Whether or not he was the son of god, or if he did miracles, is a completly different issue, and this thread is not the place to discuss it.

 

I don't believe in God, but I have no reason not to believe there was a dude called Jesus, a carpenter, who was crucified for spreading ideas some leaders did not like.

I don't want to derail this too much, anyway... I'm no expert on the subject either.
