Don't be daft...we even have Napoleon's bath and furniture not to mention countless independent pieces of writing that corroborate his existence...sometimes I really do wonder about the vast variation in human IQ.

He definitely wasn't the son of any god and it's likely that Jesus Christ the man never existed at all.
"Christianity borrowed its central myths and ceremonies from other ancient religions. The ancient world was rife with tales of virgin births, miracle-working saviors, tripartite gods, gods taking human form, gods arising from the dead, heavens and hells, and days of judgment. In addition to the myths, many of the ceremonies of ancient religions also match those of that syncretic latecomer, Christianity. To cite but one example (there are many others), consider Mithraism, a Persian religion predating Christianity by centuries. Mithra, the savior of the Mithraic religion and a god who took human form, was born of a virgin; he belonged to the holy trinity and was a link between heaven and Earth; and he ascended into heaven after his death. His followers believed in heaven and hell, looked forward to a day of judgment, and referred to Mithra as "the Light of the World." They also practiced baptism (for purification purposes) and ritual cannibalism—the eating of bread and the drinking of wine to symbolize the eating and drinking of the god’s body and blood. Given all this, Mithra’s birthday should come as no surprise: December 25th; this event was, of course, celebrated by Mithra’s followers at midnight.
Mithraism is but the most striking example of the appearance of these myths and ceremonies prior to the advent of Christianity. They appear—in more scattered form—in many other pre-Christian religions. "

There is more evidence that Jesus walked this earth than the existence of Napoleon Bonaparte.

He never exhisted. where are his bones? wheres anything related to him and as for the moron who said that there was more evidence of him than Napoleon...Grab a history book, go to a museum, go to an art gallery. Theres way more Napoleon artifacts than Jesus stuff.
If you are going to claim fact have back up.

There is way more evidense that Jesus walked the earth than there is that Abraham Lincoln did. Did you know that. Perhaps abe was just an actor who played a part.

Mainly what I see are the writings of the Jewish historian, Josephus.
The categories you have to look at include, other than the New Testament itself: Pagan sources, Jewish sources, and Church sources.

Honestly, I think anyone who is even asking this question has a lot of catching up to do in the area of general knowledge.
