do you seriously have doubts whether a man named Jesus actually existed? Not that he was who he said he was, just that he existed at all? I mean, come on... the amount of historical reference to him is staggering.

I know that there have been lots of guys named Jesus. One of them mows our lawn. But as far as Jesus of Nazareth, I not only have doubts, I'm fairly certain that fictional character wasn't even based on an actual person.
Nothing written about Jesus was written during his supposed lifetime.
In fact there is not one shred of proof of the existance of Jesus of Nazareth other than embellished stories written and told several generations after that character supposedly died.
But even if they did find that Jesus was an actual person, he was only a person. Only a teacher like Confucious, Buddha, Mohammad, etc.
