I can actually show you, although it'd be a bit more difficult because I'd have to find my references, but believe me I can show you that not only do NT unanimously scholars say that Jesus of Nazareth was a historical person, but so do Roman Empire historians.
Because I find Min's citation, and points regarding original sources, more convincing. I'm admittedly not as schooled as either you or him on the scholarship; but judging from the presentations I've read here on both sides -- and more importantly, judging from you naive trust in Gospel-as-history -- I'm inclined to think that he probably didn't exist. I'm agnostic on the position of historicity. I don't know one way or the other, and quite frankly, I don't think it matters. But I can certainly weigh presented arguments and come to a conclusion.
