There is really no solid evidence Jesus existed. I'd challenge anyone to try and prove otherwise. Then I would ask, do we use the same amount of evidence to assume the existence of other historical figures? If not, why? Why does Jesus get a pass?
The fact is, there is VERY LITTLE evidence of a historical Jesus. Some second hand writings scribbled hundreds of years after his supposed life. Only one of which actually mentions him by name. At best, there may have been a man named Christus who lived around that time around that region. That's the best we have. Christians love to cite this as undeniable fact that Jesus Christ lived and walked the Earth. The only undeniable fact is that we don't know for sure and probably never will. I am comfortable assuming he never existed, but open to the possibility that he may have.

If you're frightened of dying, and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the Earth.
