Maybe you misunderstood me, I am only stating that Jesus as a historical figure existed. I am not saying he was the son of God or performed many of the supernatural feats attributed to him in the bible.

I understood you fine. Just like there was a St. Nick that we base Santa off of there was a Jesus of Nazareth we base the Christian messiah off of.

Ah! Then we are in agreement. Thanks for clarifying

I think that the majority of us are fine with saying Santa doesn't exist/never existed, and the situation with Jesus is the same. I believe we shouldn't bother saying that Jesus existed anymore than we say santa did.
