Did a Historical Jesus Exist?

After reading this article, I truly do not understand how people could have such blind faith. Even people of faith are quoted as knowing that the whole religion cannot necessarily have happened. I think the biggest thing I read was the comment about a fictional book written in the 1920's about Pontius Pilot's letters to Seneca in Rome, and how maybe in a hundred years that will be considered as truth and worshipped. I almost feel like if we go by the standards of the people following the bible, fictional stories from our modern times could be worshipped in hundreds of years. 

The article also mentions Hercules, and how similar the stories are between him and Jesus. I don't understand how people could find that story fictional and know it, when the story of Jesus is incredibly similar and now factual?

I just can't stop thinking about the girl at SCCC who thinks the bible actually happened. The article mentions parts of the bible (mind you written 60 years after the death of Jesus meaning the unknown authors who wrote this could not have lived during Jesus' lifetime) writing about what Jesus was thinking. How would you know what was inside his head if you didn't even meet him!?

Its so crazy how some beliefs are thought to be so farfetched, like people who believe in UFO's or Big Foot, when there is about as much factual evidence proving UFO existence as Jesus'!

It just reminds me of when I was a kid and first started going to CCD. All my life, I was told story tales teaching good morals or trying to teach you lessons. I remember my favorite book in the world was Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs, a book about a town where food fell out of the sky. You're taught when you're young that none of it is true, that the only true myths are Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny. But then I started CCD and suddenly this incredibly farfetched fairy tale was true and I was supposed to be incredibly faithful to it. I knew even then that it was bullshit; I really always have. I don't think I can ever understand the mentality of someone who spends their life waiting for the afterlife. You're alive now, why do you have to secure what happens when you do die? I've come too close to dying to waste my life praying for a paradise.
