I do rather like the idea of ripping the legs out from under the entire mythology.
The evidence for a historical Jeebs is paltry. Except for me of course. I'm a living, breathing Jeebs. Right here, right now.
I do too, but in this case I don't know if it would matter. Look at how much of the Bible is already "metaphorical". Look at how many Christians already worship a God and Jesus whom they think is a kind, loving, and caring father figure. The characters in the Bible are nothing like that.
Proving that Jesus never existed might break off a few people, but I don't think historicity has a lot to do with it for most people. If science proving that Genesis is wrong about everything it says about creation doesn't kill the religion, this won't either. Christianity probably won't be killed in big strokes, it will die off gradually, as it has been doing.
