Yes, he was a real man. Very wise, and peaceful, very loving, and kind and wonderful. One of the great philosophers of all time, a real gentlemen who concerned himself with all others above him. He was a great man, one of the greatest men of all time and it is right that even two thousand years later we celebrate his life with a day in December.
Is he the son of god. No, I don't think so.

It's important for me to state quite explicitly that it is not a matter(for me) of not believing in the existence of God. I believe that there are probably beings who may as well be called gods but I do not believe any of them was 'the creator'.
Say there was a supposed Creator, then would he not need another Creator to be called into existence, and so ad infinitum?
So if man were modelled on God, then yes, man is another 'God' in an infinite 'product line' of Gods. Not to mock religion but that takes out most of the novelty of Godhood, doesn't it?
When it comes to Christ though, I would rather hold him in due respect as a respectable, if not great man and humanitarian.
It must be pointed out that in that time such men were a scarcity, so it is natural that priests and philosophers would use the new face to uplift old beliefs...I do think the man existed, not because he is documented (for history is but the victor's brag) but because of how far spread Christ-based beliefs are today, such success would not come without someone passable as son-of-God. In the end it all comes down to wanting to believe.
Most of us do and it's not because of a sense of insecurity or weakness, no BS...

I am a non believer in the theories about god yes, but I have every reason to believe that jesus was a real person,
who gave hope and belief to a people who needed help along time ago,
but he no longer exists so people should get over it and stop trying to fix all of their issues, by believing that it is a higher being helping them through lifes troubles, when faith in themselves is all they need.

I'm a buddhist, so I neither believe nor disbelieve in god. However, I do know it is a fact that jesus lived. I believe he was a great person who helped many people, perhaps even a bodhisatva (An enlightened person who stayed behind out of an extreme sense of compassion), and that he was horribly prosecuted. How ever, I do not believe he is the son of god or avatar of god nor that he absolved our sins, we must take responsibility for our own actions.

I am sorry, but I believe in God. You didn't mention to ask those who don't believe in God only. You mentioned for serious people only. I am a deadly serious person; you probably would get scared from me if you see me personally because of that. Jesus Christ is a real Person indeed. Take it from a real serious man.

Modern biblical scholarship makes a very compelling case for the idea that Jesus was an entirely fictional character.

The Jesus Christ story is a myth saint. No proof need exist for myths, it only needs to be believed by the faithfull, and they do so blindly.
But if you would like to research this subject further here are some links.

It was a myth from day one and it started along time before Jesus. Do the research many other religions had "the sun god story." People control people by making up these outrageous lies for one reason alone to take advantage of someone who is naive.
