I believe that Julius Caesar was a real person but I have never met, seen or heard from him and only know about from other people and historical documents. You say dubious sources, but I know very few scholars who would deny that a person named Jesus of Nazareth existed and was crucified by the Romans under Pontius Pilate. Where they start to disagree is the resurrection.
Was there a historical man called jesus?
It really makes no difference either way.
I happen to think that there was, but only because of the stupidity of his death and the stretches of logic gone to to excuse it.
Have you seen videos of the followers of david koresch? they speak as if he was special still and excuse his silly death in just the same way as Christians try to save their favourite figure from ridicule.
Was there a man called jesus? maybe.
Was there a god called jesus? no.
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
