Seriously, whole Jesus trial is actually believed to be based on a real historical person and that was Jesus ben-Ananias. He was considered a crazy guy who went down the streets and yelled that something bad will happen to Jerusalem and since his constant screaming annoyed people they gave him to Roman procurator Albinus who punished him by whipping, or something like that, and released him.
So four years later, Jerusalem gets to be under siege and people remember that this guy "predicted" it and they get creeped out.
So you can't say that Jesus was completely invented but there is an actual historical person inside it all and that is Jesus ben-Ananias.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
