You're talking as if jesus was a real person.
That seems to be an argument from authority and majority I'm afraid. There's actually a fairly good case made by other scholars such as Carrier and Price that makes Jesus' existence questionable. May want to look into it if you haven't yet.
I have read Carrier and Price, thank you! I find no problem with an historical Jesus, that's all. The arguments on both sides are logical, well structured and so on. Also, were I so into "authority," I would be in church right now! LOL! A little levity helps, doesn't it?
