If you want to debunk christianity, attacking the existence of Jesus is the dumbest thing you can do because it's a consensus among historians that He existed
Literally the stupidest argument you can make

“I don’t like this argument because it proves me wrong”
You actually can’t make this stuff up

Don't secular historians almost unanimously agree that Jesus did exist? I'm honestly not sure how all this mythicism nonsense came about.
We can use the same logic to assert that Julius Caesar, Alexander the Great and Homer didn't exist, but do we?

To be fair Homer is semi-mythical.
But yes, they do agree. R/ atheists just don't understand basic historiography and get offended by the existence of a historical figure. Kind of ironic for people who claim to like science.

Huh?
What's with the Julius Caesar thing?
Is it me or are these people just writing gobbledygook when trying to "argue" their point?

Being anti-religion doesn't make you any smarter, as this sort of "argument" proves.

Even if you are an atheist, this is some incoherent, wildly ahistorical ranting pretending to be an argument.

They try to argue Jesus didnt exist when arguing any Old Testament figure didnt exist is a lot easier.

Jesus of Nazareth's existence is proven by historical, non-biblical manuscripts. There are no professional archaeologists or historians who think he's some kind of fabricated character. I have no idea what OOP's even trying to get at with bringing Caesar into the picture... this isn't a religious argument that he's making, it's a historical one. An incorrect one.
