You've asserted this many times in this thread. Cite your sources, please.
Oh that's easy. Every shithead with a theology degree says there was a jesus and that's enough for believers to swallow their own dicks.
As J D Crossan has pointed out the very fact that historians have proposed so many different "jesuses" all based on the same stupid gospel based evidence is serious reason to doubt their conclusions. But you will never get a moron who thinks this shit is true to admit that.
The better question is: Find me ONE historian (not theologian) who is not associated with some church or seminary who believes that jesus came back from the dead and flew up to heaven. The field will suddenly get much thinner!
