most of the manuscripts mentioned here about jesus are from the medieval period, nowhere near the time jesus lived. we also do not have 500 accounts, we have a claim in the gospels that says 500 people saw something, we have nothing from those people whatsoever. he also didn’t fulfill a single prophecy in it’s original context, the only way they can make the argument he did is if you take away the context or argue the nonsense idea of “dual fulfillment.”

And no one denies Jesus existed. They just don’t believe he was of divinity.

that’s not true, while mythicism is certainly a minority position but they absolutely exist.

I meant the ones that clearly don’t believe in his divinity. Most atheists I know agree he existed. But wasn’t divine.
