Is Rake still trying to convince all the other Atheists to believe in real-guy-Jesus like his gullible ass does?
Why am I not surprised?
To the OP: Jesus Christ (the Bible character, as written) is most likely one of 3 things:
1. A fictional character based on and influenced by other, earlier mythical figures (my favorite answer).
2. A fictional character based on a conglomeration of real preachers from Jesus's time.
3. A fictional character based on a totally real guy named Ieshua von Nazareth who did and said everything that's in the gospels (more or less), except maybe the magic, I guess, since I'm atheist and don't believe in far-fetched tales unless they're the parts of the New Testament with no magic (Rake's favorite answer).
Any way you slice it, what you have there is a fictional character, even if that character is loosely based on a real guy.

Verbatim from the mouth of Jesus (retranslated from a retranslation of a copy of a copy):
"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you too will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. How can you see your brother's head up his ass when your own vision is darkened by your head being even further up your ass? How can you say to your brother, 'Get your head out of your ass,' when all the time your head is up your own ass? You hypocrite! First take your head out of your own ass, and then you will see clearly who has his head up his ass and who doesn't." Matthew 7:1-5 (also Luke 6: 41-42)
