Sure, NP. Lets just recap.
The mythicist position is not, directly, a position on the existence of magic or miracles. Magic and miracles do not make or break the mythicist position.
The mythicist position is not that -there couldn't have been- a man named yeshua.
The mythicist position is simple, the jesus that we have handed to us, the jesus of our cultural and literary inheritance, is mythical, is legendary. That -no man- need be the kernel of that jesus, and that there is no man which can be extracted from the body of that jesus. That the "historical jesus" of the experts is an "any-man", and thus, effectively...... no man in particular or at all.
