To be generous, here are the sum total of historical "facts" we know about Jesus, although it's controversial among skeptics:

So the bar is pretty low, there.

If you'd read my post, you'd know I've already said there are different levels of sanity. There are some people who are crazy in specific areas and yet lead normal lives otherwise. Ever seen the story about Harvey, the invisible bunny rabbit?
So how about my musings on whether or not he lied?
