"There really is no reason for him not to be" isn't a very compelling historical argument for jesus, even as a man. There's really no reason that there could'nt have been a guy named steve who lived at my address twenty years ago - and yet there was not. I'm not disagreeing with you at all, there really -isn't- any reason that jesus or steve couldn't have been real...but that is irrelevant to a mythicist position. The mythicist position (one of many positions in this category, tbt) is that the -jesus of text- is a jesus of myth and legend. If there is/was a real man....it is simply not to be found -in the text-.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
