I'd say that Jesus as a person did exist (hear me out!), BUT, in my opinion, only as an extremely charismatic and rather resourceful human, surrounded by followers who.. well, to say the least, exaggerate his feats. Mighty crafty of him too, to credit his abilities to a divine being and hence secure his own worship for centuries and MILLENNIA to come!
Who knows, he might even be a time traveller from the distant future who engineered and crafted up the entire story, making use of awesome technology to create "miracles"! ("Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" -A.C. Clarke) I'd probably do that if I had that kind of technology. For shits and giggles. :p
Or MAYBE, he's actually a member of an ALIEN RACE who descended upon this Earth to create a following! TONS of theories linking tons MORE things to an alien origin, mind you!
Hmm. Better stay "agnostic" on this one.
