Oh no, another topic about Jeerlyboos. I think I'm gonna vomit...
I would say that Jesus is as historical as Molly Pitcher. It seems that she never existed, and yet there are uplifting books about her that tell inspiring stories for girls to look up to as if she really existed. And some people do seem to think she existed since there were some postal stamps with her image, and some (if not most) think she was made from one or several real women's life stories, but it seems that she was completely invented during the crisis known as the Revolutionary War, just as Jesus was invented during the crisis of the 1st century Jewish–Roman wars, and later re-invented over and over again as is the case with Molly Pitcher.

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"
