It seems he and virtually all academic historians disagree with the presupposition that Jesus was not a real person.So that all the distractions don't obscure the topic I'll restate it.

Bart Ehrman states the following:
"I don't think there is any serious historian who doubts the existence of Jesus".
"I don't think it was more than one person, I mean, I think there was a historical Jesus..."
I offer the testimony of the Christian-hostile expert witness, Bart Ehrman, saying that Jesus was a real person and stating that "no serious historian" doubts this.
Claims to the contrary notwithstanding, I have argued a position and provided strong evidence to support it: Specifically "Jesus was a real person". I don't claim this to be a proof, just very strong evidence. I've provided other evidence, but this argument is the one I'm waiting to see refuted.
Hitler believed killing 6 million Jews was right. Prove me wrong that it isn't right.
