I think that there is a good chance that there was a physical jesus despite the compltete lack of contempoary evidence and my reasoning goes thus.
If there was a cult leader who was killed as a common criminal his followers would make up all sorts of silly shit to justify this outcome.
The story of the crucifiction and resurrection seem to me to be the rabid claims of desperate people trying to justify why they followed the person that they did.
So I see him as a kind of David Koresh or Charles Manson character who seperated people from there families and caused trouble.
You only have to look at the fable of jesus and the money lenders,jesus would not have been allowed to interupt the workings of money lenders on his own, money lenders have always had plenty of protection, a violent mob would have been required.
