For People Who Think There Was No Historical Jesus

What do you mean by "historical Jesus" if you want to throw out all the miracles, divinity and other supernatural elements?

In this case just some man who was regarded as a Messiah by a few people in Judea. I don't find the idea of somebody starting a new Messianic movement impossible because of all the new religions which started up last century and this century. Most are offshoots of existing religions but some are New Age, Neo Pagan and UFO cults.

List Of New Religious Movements

In this post I reported finding a new cult whose leaders claim to be Jesus and Mary Magdalene reincarnated and it appears they've got followers.
