Nailed - Ten Christian Myths That Show Jesus Never Existed at All

I just finished this book and it's not a dry read at all.
Apologetics, quite frankly, bore me because they use the Bible to prove the Bible and that's just a really moronic approach. Bring some real evidence, verifiable evidence as that's the nature of evidence and then I'll listen to whatever you want to present with an open mind. Oh wait, there's not any.
Never mind.

Here's a great excerpt from NAILED: Ten Christian Myths That Show Jesus Never Existed At All

 Didn't There Have to Have Been a Jesus?

Most people have never heard of the ancient Greek mythographer Euhemerus, who first theorized that the gods of mythology were deified human beings, and their myths based on legends sprung from accounts of real people and events. So many might be surprised to find that they are Euhemerists on the subject of Jesus. That is to say, though they may not believe Jesus was the divine Christ that Christianity venerates as the Son of God and savior of the world, and may regard accounts of the miracles and wonders attending him as mere legendary accretion, nevertheless they certainly believe there had to have been a central figure that began Christianity.

Perhaps he was just a wandering teacher or an exorcist, an apocalyptic prophet or a zealot who opposed the Romans. Perhaps he was all these things, or even a composite of several such early first-century figures; but at any rate, surely there had to be somebody at the original core of Christianity, arguably the most famous individual in human history. All this seems to be a perfectly reasonable, completely natural assumption to make – so why would anyone be so foolish as to propose that Jesus never existed?

Doesn't it just make more sense to assume that there was a historical Jesus, even if we are unable to recover the real facts about his life and death?

As it turns out, no.
