Intelligent Atheists: Who/What Was Jesus?

[Whateverist]

Hello everyone,

I would like your honest views on who or what you think Jesus really was, with some reasonable justifications please.

I ask this because some say he was a myth, some say he existed, some say he represents a sun god, etcetera...

I am simply unsure and require answers for further discussions.

Thanks!

I don't think you really need our most intelligent atheists for this discussion.  I assume there was some person to whom the myths were attached.  It isn't likely that the person in question really was a supernatural being - primarily because we have no examples of supernatural beings.  If that doesn't settle it for you consider how much credence you think should be given to the possibility that there really was a historical person responsible for any other religion's god .. let alone that they really did kill ice giants or drive a chariot across the sky.  No, for this discussion intelligence is irrelevant.
