You are missing the point. Christians who believe those fantastic claims are the mythicists.
It is also a myth That Thor makes lightening. It is also a myth that Ra and Osiris and Isis existed. They are real claims made by humans, but still myths.
If you are trying to argue that Jesus existed but was not a magic man with super powers, then what is the point of your argument that you are not a mythicist?
If you are not sure he existed, all I am saying is that HE DID NOT EXIST.
Humans do not have magic super powers as the bible would imply. So your only other viable choice as to why claims of Jesus exist, is that humans concocted a super hero based on a splinter sect of Hebrews trying to create a new sect.
The Jesus character could not be claimed if humans didn't claim it.
Just like Paul Bunyan or Jack and the Bean Stalk would not be stories if real humans didn't inspire them. But humans do not have magic super powers regardless. Just like George Washington existed, but both the wooden teeth story, and chopping down the cherry tree story are myths.
As I said in my first post. Christianity does exist. Nobody can argue that. But we can argue and dispute the origins and fantastic claims.
