Yes, Jesus did exist. He managed to get many personal followers. These people believed in this man so much that they died horrible deaths in His name. Either all of these men were high on Hebrew mushrooms or they actually, positively believed in Him.
There were also many enemies of Jesus who wrote about Him. I, unfortunately forget this particular person's name, but he was a political ruler some 20 years(?) after Jesus' death. He talked of Christianity being laughable but admitted that Jesus was an extraordinary being.
The arguement about Jesus existing can also be asked in other ways: Did George Washington really exist? He's written down in History books but I haven't seen him, you haven't seen him, no one today has seen him. I little trust is involved. I can easily say that everything written in history about George Washington is false just as another person could say that everything written about Jesus is false. It's just accepted that they both existed and we trust that most of what is universally written about them is true.
