The way in which we know about Jesus is not all that different from the way in which we know about Socrates, yet Socrates is accepted as having been a real person. Like irate said (in an excellent and completely "on" post I might add), I can understand someone choosing to believe that Jesus was simply a nice guy and that stories of him have gotten out of hand, but believing he didn't exist is just something I don't see as a realistic option.
