Did Jesus Christ exist as a historical human or was he a theological construct?

RE: Did Jesus Christ exist as a historical human or was he a theological construct?
So the concensus of the atheists here is what? Yeshhua bar Yosef was most likely a man who existed in those times, common enough name. No evidence exists that he preformed miracles outside the Bible which is rejected. He was most likely a teacher or rabbi and died for his teachings. No where outside the Bible references his teachings therefore whatever he taugh or did is rejected. The idea of the man God was probably formed @ 250AD when Rome picked up the religion based off this lone crucified rabbi. Some documents were probably added or edited to justify the man god abilities of this teacher.

Is that about it?
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
