Actually your arguments support my point, if as you say the story was spread being spread orally and not written, not only does it hurt the ability to factcheck since its being spread orally, but it also supports my point that the story would shift and blend with other stories over time.
In addition if it was important as you argued earlier and about his saviour then why wouldn't he have put it to paper fast so as to prevent it being lost if he should be killed or die, the fact that he waited if it was shows that either it wasn't that important so he wouldn't remember it into his old age, or that most likely it wasn't him who wrote it but someone else, or that it was entirely made up.
What evidence? You've given nothing and you call it evidence, none of you have supported your arguments with a shread of evidence, all you've said is that these are what is written so he must exist because there are writings of it, but when I show you that none of the writings are first hand writing, in fact that they were written by people who never met him you dismiss it because it proves you wrong, and proves my point that there is no certainty of his existence. You call my argument fringe, but i've supported it, and shown that it is uncertain, you haven't shown anything that shows that it is certain.
