No. I'm on board with the theory that Jesus was simply a conceptual device to make God more accessible and an evangelical guilt tool for easy conversions.
Perhaps there was a man from Nazereth with delusions of grandeur by the name of Jesus/Yeshua of some renown who gave his creators a baseline to work with. I find this unlikely though, for the lack of writings about him outside the gospels contemporary to his own supposed lifetime point to him never existing in the first place.
The character Jesus has some literary value, in my opinion, for some of his "teachings" of love and compassion.
At the end of my day it doesn't really matter, for if he did exist he was simply a dime a dozen loon with no magical divine powers whatsoever.
