It doesn't matter......

If you believe in Jesus' existence because you are a literalist then any evidence to the contrary will never be considered valid.

If you believe in Jesus' existence as God, then mere mortal history doesn't mean crap.

If you believe in Jesus as a metaphor for one's own relation to the ultimately unknowable, then good for you - it doesn't matter whether He walked the earth or not because the myth is far more important and true than the historical fact.

If you're merely being controversial, then you could say all sorts of things about Jesus and gain a lot of attention.....

To me, Jesus is the way to get some sort of idea of the infinite, and that's what constitutes salvation.
