I'm confused by this. What makes you pretty certain of that? There are no first-hand accounts written of Jesus. The name Jesus is inconsistent with his supposed heritage. There are no records of anyone like him in a place and time when extensive records were kept. All accounts of Jesus arose almost a hundred years after he supposedly lived. It's pretty likely that someone (maybe Paul) invented Jesus and start presenting the stories as reality.

You either have faith or you don't. There is no scientific evidence to support the existence of Jesus. (Or Abraham, or Moses, or the Exodus, or Muhammad, if you want to get into that.)

True.

personally I could care less...but it stands to reason there was probably someone at the core of the legend...there generally is.

oral tradition took care of the rest.

semantics, has put the wrong side of the fence, lol. I believe in "Jesus" as much as I do in St. George's dragon, which was probably originally some exotic tradesman's pet Gila. while a Gila (or Komodo -whatever) more than likely existed -probably making old George piss his drawers -legend made it a dragon.
