The Jesus story has details that is most definitely made up i just realized!!!

[Jehanne]

No first rate scholar doubts the existence of the historical Jesus.

So Richard Carrier is not first rate scholar? How come? Or Thomas L. Thompson, Edwin Johnson, Arthur Drews, Robert M. Price, Earl Doherty, Michel Onfray, Frank Zindler...

Sure, we could ask "How come all historians are on the side of Jesus mythicism?"
Because Jesus Myth is kryptonite for Christianity. If you’re a believer, you can find ways to twist your faith to make room for evolution; Christians do it all the time, and in increasing numbers these days. But you can’t very well pull off that same trick to accommodate Jesus Myth.
And, that's why in the west there are still many historians officially believing that Jesus was historical person, just like you have plenty of historians in India believing that Krishna was based on a real person. People want to be historians but they don't necessarily want to come in conflict with other people's religions.

I do not know where Richard Carrier is getting his money these days; to my knowledge, he never secured a teaching position at any of the 3K+ colleges across North America.  He is kind of like a medical school graduate who never became a doctor, but instead, decided to drive a taxi for a living.

That Jesus of Nazareth existed is beyond an historical certainty.  Having said that, the historical record is just as equally clear that Jesus was a Jewish, apocalyptic prophet who believed in a flat earth and that an angel from Heaven would descend (literally) to liberate the Jewish people from the Romans.  That message is what got Jesus in trouble when he brought his message to the Temple in Jerusalem, that's what got him arrested and what, ultimately, got him executed by the Romans for sedition.
