I'm going to sleep now. Avinash_Tyagi, I leave you with this reiteration of an earlier point that may have gotten lost in the shuffle:

What exactly is your alternate theory here? How did his existence get manufactured in such a brief time? Why didn't anyone say anything like "wait a second that never happened, there was no such Jesus"?

To say simply that we aren't OMG 100% ABSOLUTELY sure of the "Jesus was real" view isn't good enough. There has to be a "Jesus wasn't real" view that at least makes some sense. What is it?

 

 I already answered that question, one prevailing theory is that Jesus is actually an Amalgamation story, drawn from Mithras, Horus, Prometheus and other saviors

Where did you get that theory? Jesus did walk this earth if you believe he is the savior or not. This is proven fact. Now what makes Jesus unique from myths is the time period the Christians sprung up and that there were people in power actively seeking to destroy this group due to the heralding of a new "king" (Jesus). The rulers at the time were so concerned regarding the truth of this "movement" that they put most of the early Christians to death.

You may want to argue that early Christians were crazy or dillusional, but the early followers were actually a diverse group composed of all different walks of life including doctors and people who once had killed other Christians and then heard the story of Jesus and changed their ways.

Personally I wouldn't allow myself to be crucified upside down, tortured, or dejected by society for a story I knew to be false.
