Atheists: Do historians believe that Jesus existed as a historical figure?

Eusebius a 2nd century church father quoting a early century Historian named Pipias stated that, Mark was the interpreter of Peter who's claims of Jesus was based on unwritten oral tradition. However there is no archaeological evidence of Peter existing as a historical figure whatsoever, or the family of Jesus. So I don't think anyone should put their full trust in story that has no archaeological or historical legitimacy.

See, my take is that the existence of Jesus is irrelevant; it's whether Jesus was divinity made man that really matters. I mean, say we prove Jesus really existed. So what?

All we've managed to do is verify that one man living in Israel at a certain time is an actual historical figure. That in no way proves his divinity, or the various miracles that were attributed to him.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
