I think there probably was such a person (though not literally named Jesus), but I estimate the odds on the low end, like 55% yes, 45% no. I think he probably said some portion of the quotes attributed to him, was a former follower of John the Baptist who split off and got his own following, and did wind up executed by the Romans for his seditious teachings. I don't think there's much more you can say about him that reaches 55% likely.

This is almost exactly how I view the odds.

We can all at least agree that he was white, and preached about the end of the world in English.

A Christian told me: if you were saved you cant lose your salvation. you're sealed with the Holy Ghost
I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.

He also enjoyed telling off-color Jewish jokes, which is why the Temple authorities hated him so, why he and Pilate were so tight, and why his subsequent attempt to establish a career in the Catskills flopped so badly.
