Did Jesus exist at all?

[Anomalocaris]

If he did exist, then obviously he was so minor that either 1. Nothing was written about him when he was alive or 2. Very  little was written about him when he was alive but all those writings are  lost. 

Define "he", some individual of no exceptional quality whose name, through a long series of contingent events few if any of which resulted from any out of ordinary attribute of his circumstance or character, became associated with a figurehead for some of the largest and most lemantable mass hysteria inducing cult yet to afflict mankind?  Such an individual quite possibly existed.   In fact, many such figureheads at the origin of many cults derived the name they became known by from some historically existent individual.   SO it is quite possible one specific Jesus existed at the origin of Christianity whose name become the figurehead for the cult of Christianity.  Such a Jesus, if he existed, would seem much less impressive than even the completely contemptible Muhammad at the origin of Islam, and much less respectable than the thoroughly worthless Buddha at the origin of Buddhism. Both Buddha and Muhammad, btw, seems somewhat more likely to have stemmed of a single actual existent human being than Jesus.
