It seems likely that he was an actual person. It is not verified, nor is it verifiable. This is the kind of shit Bible apologists like to whip out as if it confirms their beliefs. Almost to a person, people who refer to the Historicity of Jesus Wikipedia page use terms like "verified fact" in the same breath. If you're not intending to be a Bible apologist, you should probably take a different tack.
Nobody (especially the apologist) gives a shit whether some rando Nazarine created a religious movement. They were a dime a dozen. What the people who bring this up actually care about is that said Nazarine is the Son of God and the Christian Messiah. Just because he existed, doesn't mean he is anything of the sort, or that God even exists. There is literally no other useful knowledge to be had in pointing out that Jesus was probably a real person, so if you're hell bent on making sure everybody knows he was so totally super-duper real guys, then everybody figures you must have an agenda.
I'm sorry you're so upset about people correcting misinformation.
PS: There's one useful thing about telling people that Jesus existed: We don't have to suffer smug atheists being like "haha Jesus is fake I'm so smart."
Calling Jesus "verified fact" is the only misinformation in this thread buddy. I'm sorry you and all the morons like you believe in fairy tales. The world sucks because of it.
Well he's attested in literary evidence with uncontested reliability, which makes him about as unverified as Julius Caesar.
haha yes, Jesus of Nazareth and Julius Ceasar, totally the same! As one would expect of a... peasant zealot and the leader of the largest empire in the Western world. Their respective footprints in history, shit they might as well be twins!
