This is ridiculous, but I'll bite.
Are you talking about the supposed person who existed in Judea somewhere betweeen 7 AD and 40 AD? (Give or take.) Or are you talking about the magical sky creature who watches over everyone and feels the need to judge them for every action they commit in their life? There is a big difference.
I'll give it a go - as far as the 'historical' Jesus, I would accept a valid form of proof that this person actually existed and was not a figment of the imagination of the Peter and Paul Cult. For example, even though James Cameron is a lying charlatan, an actual burial site where it was clearly demonstrated that THIS IS THE TOMB OF JESUS OF NAZARETH (Which didn't exist at the time, BY THE WAY.) WHO IS THE SAME GUY YOU'VE READ ABOUT IN THE BIBLE AND NO THIS ISN'T A HOAX LIKE THOSE CRACKPOT CHRISTIAN 'ARCHAELOGISTS' WHO PRETEND THEY'VE FOUND NOAH'S ARK.
Something like that would work. Or, oh, I don't know, maybe an actual record of the Roman's executing this guy. Something besides the Josephus histories that have been written and re-written by people who are biased towards the christian church.
In other words, some EVIDENCE.
As for the sky god.... I would believe in Jesus if pigs learned how to fly.

His story were more believable. But i'm Agnostic towards all gods. Why do Christians keep insisting that your god is the true god and that your religion is the true religion especially since so many religions came before both Judaism and Christianity? I guess that will never be answered in a logical way without saying because the bible says so.

Permit me to answer this way: I'm atheist and Tibetan Buddhist... I believe in Jesus and always have, but just not in a deified, mythological sense as most people have created him to be. I've always respected his teachings as the in-depth lessons they were probably originally intended to be, not as how many people have twisted them around for self-serving purposes, which is a problem that knows NO ONE particular religion alone.

He was a historical figure of these times, a normal human being, maybe a 'mother Theresa' in male form, and not some person from long ago that is blown out of proportion and no one today can actually say whether he really existed or not.

....he was real.
No, seriously, I don't know what it would take. I just know that what my brain tells me at this point in time is that God most likely does not exist and the stories of Jesus' birth to a virgin mother and resurrection are merely stories.

I DO believe *in* Jesus. Peaceable man with a good message.
I just don't believe he came back from the dead or that he was god, and there is nothing that would make me believe those things because they are not possible.

I believe in the existence of Jesus at one point in history, but I do not believe in his alleged divinity.
If he were to "descend" to Earth, walk on water, and turn water to wine, then I'm pretty sure I couldn't refuse his divinity.

I got a full frontal lobotomy.
Because that is the ONLY way something as inane as believing in an imaginary sky pixie could ever seem plausible to me...

Atheists don't believe in God or Jesus, nor his exsistence so it has to be Agnostics

Well, I need to expand it a bit... I would believe in the divinity of Jesus if there were empirical evidence in support of it.
