Did Jesus exist?

[GrandizerII]

I don't know how the gospels can be considered to be written historically when they contain obviously fake, made up elements that any sceptic atheist would instantly dismiss.

And I don't find it convincing that because it's written in a certain style (if I conceded the point), it's probably true.

So your logic is basically: if a story contains obviously legendary elements, then the story could not have contained historical figures in it?

Alexander the Great was born of a snake according to one ancient biography of him. Does this mean the biography could not have contained historical truths about Alexander, and that Alexander the Great could not have been true because of the legendary elements in the biography?
