If the faith is based on Some Guy™ then there was a historical jesus (or two or ten).
If the faith is based on stories of a gods apparition, then there wasn't.
I can't dumb this down any more for you. Do you understand?
This is incoherent nonsense.
Marcion believed Jesus lived in first century Jerusalem, had disciples, went around preaching about the kingdom of God, was seen as the messiah, was brought in front of Pilate, and was subsequently crucified by the Romans.
All of which are accepted by historicist , but rejected by the main proponents of the Jesus myth theory, and a-historicist, such as Richard Carrier, Robert Price, Archaya X, etc...
Do you understand this? I’m not sure how much more plainly I could put it.
You’re just playing a game of equivocation.
