I don't understand your question, mate...
Do I have to believe in something just because I don't necessarily dislike it? I don't think that Buddha was liar, nor evil, but somehow it seems to me that you wouldn't want me to worship Buddha. I don't have anything against stones and trees, but I wouldn't hop between them all day long, hug them and honor them.
I (as the representative of the Jewish people, if I may) don't think of Jesus at all, because he has no part in my religion, faith and beliefs. Jesus does not fit the descriptions of the Messiah more than I do, and though he was probably a very nice fellow, he has got no place in MY system of beliefs.
The suggestion itself that Jesus was the son of god is outraging and opposes the entire essence of Judaism, so I will have to reject your offer politely and stick with my religion.
Have a glorious day!

Jews consider the Jesus myth to be their most successful fraud to date.
The Jesus myth was invented after the destruction of the Jewish temple in 70 CE. It was promoted by Jews who were expelled from Jerusalem in 135 CE as a result of their terrorism & violence against Rome.
They carried that terrorism & violence with them while at the same time promoting the Jesus myth. The Jesus myth caught on and Jews have profited enormously by continuing to promote it.
But, it is a fraud invented by Jewish terrorists.
Jews do NOT think Jesus was a "good man" or a good Jew. He is based on the illegitimate son of a prostitute and Roman soldier. Jews consider "Christians" imbeciles for following such an outrageous character.

Because we do not want to join a group that you belong to, who asks such a stupid question like this one.
Seriously---------
Jews say Jesus was a very good man who lived 2000 years ago, and taught Torah and ideal Jewish life. He died, and that was the end of it. Paul is the only reason Christianity thrived and grew. And, there are those who said he was a mad man, tho they do not know what his insanity was.
My G-d is One. G-d was and is and forevermore shall be. The thought of Jesus being of G-d is idolatry.

No, Jewish people don't think of him at all. In fact, many of them think Jesus never claimed to be anything more than a good Jewish man (which is the truth)

It's impossible for the Jewish religion to believe in Jesus.
Many of the things Jesus taught was contrary to Jewish religious traditions.

Honestly we don't think of him. If he existed he was a man 2000 years ago that met the same fate as thousands of Jews at the hands of the Romans.

Because the Jews think of Jesus as another prophet, their idea of the Messiah was a King in all the riches and finery you can get. Jesus came as the son of man, and they rejected Him.
They are still awaiting the messiah, and when He comes again it won't be to saved them, but to judge them.

Yep, just a good man. Nothing more. I don't think they give him any thought actually.
