Do you think jesus christ existed

[là bạn điên]

I've never seen any convincing argument that Jesus didn't exist as a human being.

Onus isn't on us. I am unconvinced eitherway. It is really up to you to prove he existed

Given the fact that a community sprang up around belief in his existence and his status as the Jewish messiah,

Given the facts that the overwhelming vast majority of jews did NOT consider him a messiah, that's pretty irrelevant

and given that we have written records from a person who knew those who had traveled with him during his lifetime (Paul of Tarsus), I think that the claim that he didn't exist at all is a pretty extraordinary one that would need to have strong evidence to make it seem likely.

We have no evidence as to who Paul of Tarsus is either. There is a reasonable doubt to whether he really existed.

Since when is "that I can think of off the top of my head" a viable source for anything except one's own dandruff or hair loss?

Who said it was a viable source? I just said I could think of about 40 people for whom there is ample proof ie beyond reasonable doubt. I provided no proof.
